Proportional Font Magnification
Each character in a proportionally spaced font is a different height
and width. You may be able to place more characters on a line
using proportionally spaced fonts. You may want to experiment
with these fonts and adjust field measurements in your format as
needed. The following tables provide height and width
magnification of sample characters.
