# Subparameter s

Subparameter s is the parameter for adjusting the character magnification and reduction only for LBP.
In some time, for example, even if the LIPS III Japanese font requires a width of 10 pt in the design, the actual printed width of the characters is about 95.5% of that width.
The specified number is actual magnification x 1000. For example, if you give 1000, this results in no magnification nor reduction. In case you give 2000, the size will doubled. Even if the font size is changed, the print position is corrected properly so that the positions of center lines of the characters do not change. The default is 1047.
If you specify -S: option, the specification by subparameter s is also modified by -S: option. For example, if -S:500 and -dviprt:+`ls2000, the installed LBP font is not magnified or reduced.
