# TextDrawLetterSize

## Description

Sets the width and height of the letters.

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Text:textid | The TextDraw to change |
| Float:width | Width of a char. |
| Float:height | Height of a char. |

## Returns

This function does not return any specific values.

## Examples

```c
new Text:gMyTextdraw;

public OnGameModeInit()
{
    gMyTextdraw = TextDrawCreate(100.0, 33.0, "Example TextDraw");
    TextDrawLetterSize(gMyTextdraw, 3.2, 5.1);
    return 1;
}
```

## Notes

tip

-   When using this function purely for the benefit of affecting the TextDraw box, multiply 'Y' by 0.135 to convert to TextDrawTextSize-like measurements. Hint: it is easier and extremely precise to use **LD\_SPAC:white** sprite for box-only textdraws, TextDrawTextSize will have regular offsets.
-   If you want to change the letter size of a textdraw that is already shown, you don't have to recreate it. Simply use [TextDrawShowForPlayer](https://omp.itsneufox.com/docs/scripting/functions/TextDrawShowForPlayer)/[TextDrawShowForAll](https://omp.itsneufox.com/docs/scripting/functions/TextDrawShowForAll) after modifying the textdraw and the change will be visible.
-   Fonts appear to look the best with an X to Y ratio of 1 to 4 (e.g. if x is 0.5 then y should be 2).
