Calculate the vertical height of the font. When judging the height of word, symbols and numbers, in principle, the height of Chinese characters is judged by the upper and lower structure or left and right structure of the same font size, not by flat structured single character, encircled or semi-encircled structure of Chinese characters.

The height of the numbers should be greater than or equal to 1.8mm. Letters, such as “kg, mL” and other unit symbols, should be judged by capital letters. If there are no capital letters, it should be judged by b, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, p, q, y and other lowercase letters. Chinese is larger than English, only refers to the height of the word, not the width.
