How are you making that judgement?  Smaller, compared to what?  Post an 
example of your code that we can run, tell us what you were expecting, 
and we can probably explain what you are seeing.

Remember that the individual characters in a 12-point font are NOT 1/6th 
of an inch tall.  There is space above and below to allow for ascenders, 
descenders, and underlines, as well as providing a little white space 
separation on the screen.
