Pitch is the number of characters and spaces in one inch of running text, that is ''characters per inch'' (abbreviated cpi).〔〔 The pitch is most often used as a measurement of font size of typewriters as well as printers. The relation between pitch font size and typographic font size is usually inverse: a 12 pitch typewriter font is equal in height to 10 point typographic font, while a 10 pitch typewriter font is equal in height to 12 point typographic font. Though this relation is not obligatory: a smaller in the x-height 12 pitch font can have the body height equal to a 10 pitch font, thus creating a text with increased line spacing.〔 The most widespread fonts in typewriters are 10 and 12 pitch, called ''Pica'' and ''Elite'' respectively.〔〔〔 There may be other font styles with various width: condensed or compressed (17–20 cpi), italic or bold (10 pitch), enlarged (5–8 cpi) and so on. ==See also== *Courier (font) *Letter-spacing 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pitch (typewriter)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
