Spacing
If you specify monospaced for a font, each character prints with the same
width. But if you specify proportional spacing the design of each character
determines itswidth. To define how you want your primary font spaced, send
this command:
<ESC>
(S n P
in which for n you put O(zero) to get monospaced,
or 1 (one) to get proportional spacing.
If you specifyproportionalspacing itdoesn’t matter ifyoualso specifypitch,
because spacing isahigher priority font attribute. The printer willjust ignore
the pitch request.
To define spacingforyoursecondaryfont,usethe same numbers andjust flip
the parenthesis:
