# Font.EmHeight Property 
 
Returns em height of the font (also known as em square or em size).
 
**Namespace:** [Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/N_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_Drawing.htm.md)
 **Assembly:** Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)
 
## Syntax
  
```
Public ReadOnly Property EmHeight As Single
```
 
```csharp
public float EmHeight { get; }
```
 
### Property Value
Em height of the font.
 
## Remarks
 This parameter means size of the glyphs in design units. Width and height of the glyph are always the same, that's why sometimes it is called em square. 
Typically this size is divisible to 1024 (usually 1024 or 2048).
 
## Examples
  
```
Dim font As New Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing.Font("Arial", 12)

Console.WriteLine(font.EmHeight)
```
 
```csharp
Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing.Font font =
    new Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Drawing.Font("Arial", 12);

Console.WriteLine(font.EmHeight);
```
