Default Font size and letter height.

For stencil templates I need to know how the
height of the letters correspond to the font
sizes.

Is there a constant formula?

Please help, Frank

Not really. For Times New Roman, Single line spacing is approximately 120%
of the nominal font size, but the amount of "leading" (line spacing) built
into a font varies widely.
