Proportional Font Magnification - Paxar 9402 Reference Manual

P r o p o r t i o n a l F o n t M a g n i f i c a t i o n
Each character in a proportionally spaced font is a different 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.

To calculate other font widths, multiply the font dots (3 dots for
Minimum, 13 dots for Average, 22 dots for Maximum) by the
magnification.
Example
13 (Average font dots) x 5 (magnification) = 65 dots in an average
letter of the CG Triumvirate Bold font at 5x.
