Turns proportional mode on and off.
The following values can be used for
1: Turns mode on.
0: Turns mode off.
The width of proportional characters varies from character to
character. Therefore, a narrow letter like i receives less space than
a wide letter like W. Proportional character widths are given in
the Appendix. This command overrides the condensed mode and
fixed cpi fonts. When proportional is cancelled, the previously
selected font is used. Graphic characters are printed in fixed cpi
only; proportional mode is only available in Roman and Sans
Serif fonts.

can also be turned on and off by the ESC SI command.
