property CharWidth : Integer
Defines the width in pixels of a character cell for the terminal.
The terminal display can be viewed as a matrix of fixed-sized character cells. There are Rows cells vertically and Columns cells horizontally. The size of these character cells is calculated as the maximum required to display all of the possible characters in all of the possible character sets. Since different characters in different character sets could be displayed using different fonts, the character cell size can be viewed as a function of the different possible fonts used by the emulator. The value of CharWidth is the maximum needed to display any glyph.
The overall size of the characters displayed by the terminal is given by the Size property of the Font property of the terminal component. The Font property is used as the default font for those terminal emulations that don't support character sets. For terminals that do support character sets, the size of the glyphs is given by the Font.Size value.
