StandardFonts

public static class StandardFonts
Provides access to the default fonts used in Grasshopper.

Properties

PixelsPerPoint

#
public static float PixelsPerPoint { get; }
Gets the number of logical pixels per typographic point on this platform. Font sizes are in points, which are 96/72 pixels on Windows and a single pixel on macOS. Divide a desired pixel size by this ratio to get a font size that renders identically everywhere.

Sans
