Increase font size of particular Dot (.) in Footnote in ODS reporting, Unicode for dot (.)?

Sagarg — Mon, 26 Jul 2021 07:28:17 GMT

I want to represent Dot (".") Charactr at big size, If keep the size of footnote at 9pt it seems smaller than text.

Any way to increase size, or to add unicode for Dot (".")

An example with the "dot" made bigger:

Footnote h=9pt 'this is footnote' h=41pt '.' h=9pt 'with text at different sizes';

proc print data=sashelp.class (obs=1);
run;

H=9pt is "show following text at 9pt size". The dot is small enough that you may need to make very large changes to be noticeable. You can use, as in the example, multiple H= setting before different pieces of text as long as the text is enclosed in separate sets of quotes.

Footnote does not support Unicode

When there are multiple footnotes it makes gape between them

Of course, line size depends on font size, so, if you increase the font size of a single char, line size is increased also. You could try to insert an unicode char instead of the increased normal dot.

Hello @Sagarg,

How about the character · ('B7'x) in font 'Symbol MT'?

footnote1 h=9pt 'This is a normal dot . in Arial 9 pt.';
footnote2 h=9pt 'This is a bigger dot ' f='Symbol MT' 'B7'x f=Arial " in 'Symbol MT' 9 pt.";
footnote3 h=9pt 'It is character no. 183 (dec) = B7 (hex).';
