Subject: proportional font issues

When I set any font type, i.e. CG Times Font (Primary) and any size, it
seems to be impossible to get things lined up because it is proportional.

Is there any way to stop this so it is easier to use these fonts on forms?

Richard,

Jim gave you some very good advice.

I handle the proportional fonts by using tabs to set the location of the
fields.  This can lead to some funny looking output formats but the print
properly.

If you need more finite control, pcl offers both vertical and horizontal
movements.

I am actually printing the top margin area of a 10X3 label sheet.  Prints
order #, page X of N and a store # before the address labels are printed.

It takes a bit more time do handle the proportional fonts but the output is
a lot nicer.
