Note: Some of the fonts in the optional font module do not offer
all character spacings. See The Multi-Font Module in Chapter 5.
For each of the two Letter Quality fonts, you can choose a fixed
character pitch of 10, 12, 15, 17, or 20 characters per inch (cpi) or
proportional spacing. However, high-speed draft and normal draft
fonts cannot be combined with proportional spacing. Draft
overrides proportional.
For the fixed pitch settings (10, 12, 15, 17, and 20 cpi), each character
is given an equal amount of space. For proportional spacing,
character width varies from one character to the next. For example,
a narrow letter like i receives less space than a wide letter like W.
