Implementation: 04- 16-15)  To facilitate coding within the mainframe for variable text fields, the following four charts provide width dimensions for characters used in the MSNs.  There are two fonts with two weights each, Minion Regular, Minion Bold, CMS Myriad Regular and CMS Myriad Bold.  All character calculations are for 12 -point type. Units for the measurements are in points, rounded up to the third decimal digit.   Note :  Myriad Semibold is used in the design but not listed for width dimensions because it is only used for static text.   A.
