Subject:      ods rtf font size foolishness

Hi All,

Silly me, I thought the below code would create 3 rtf files, and that when
I opened them in word, the font sizes would be 9, 10, and 11.

Unfortunately, instead I get font sizes of 9, 9.5, and 11.

I was hoping I could blame M$, but when I peaked at the RTF code in each
of the three files, it is:

\pard\plain\intbl\sb0\sa0\ql\f2\fs18\cf1{hi mom \cell}
\pard\plain\intbl\sb0\sa0\ql\f2\fs19\cf1{hi mom \cell}
\pard\plain\intbl\sb0\sa0\ql\f2\fs22\cf1{hi mom \cell}

The font size specified in the rtf file is in half-points so, fs18 is
correct for font size=9 point, but fs19 sure aint right for font size=10.

Is this a good ol' fashioned bug?  I'm running in 8.2 on XP.  Is this
fixed in 9?

Test code below....


ods path work.rpttable(update) sasuser.templat(read) sashelp.tmplmst
(read) ;

proc template;
  define style rpt9/store=work.rpttable;
    parent = styles.rtf;
    style batch from batch /
      font_size=9pt
      font_face=Arial
    ;
  end;
  define style rpt10/store=work.rpttable;
    parent = styles.rtf;
    style batch from batch /
      font_size=10pt
      font_face=Arial
    ;
  end;
  define style rpt11/store=work.rpttable;
    parent = styles.rtf;
    style batch from batch /
      font_size=11pt
      font_face=Arial
    ;
  end;
run;

ods rtf file='c:\junk\me9.rtf' style=rpt9;
data _null_;
 file print;
 put 'hi mom';
 run;
ods rtf close;
ods rtf file='c:\junk\me10.rtf' style=rpt10;
data _null_;
 file print;
 put 'hi mom';
 run;
ods rtf close;
ods rtf file='c:\junk\me11.rtf' style=rpt11;
data _null_;
 file print;
 put 'hi mom';
 run;
ods rtf close;

Kind Regards,
