Proportional Font Magnification –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Each character in a proportionally spaced font is a different
height and width. Therefore, field height and width vary
depending on the characters used. For optimal field placement,
you may want to experiment by printing your label and then
adjusting field measurements in your format as needed. The
following tables provide height and width magnification of
sample characters.
