[PCB_FORUM] Re: Silk legend

Thanks for the responses. 

It would be nice if Allegro had True Type fonts, so we could use points
instead of mils. The smallest test would probably be 3pt.

Richard,
       Forgot I was using Allegro numbers for text size.

       S/B 6 thou line width and a height of 34 thou
       (total text height = line width + text height (or 6 + 34 = 40)
