NOTE

Fonts are either "fixed" or "proportional" in spacing. The printer contains both fixed

fonts (Courier, Letter Gothic, and Lineprinter) and proportional fonts (CG Times, Arial, Times
New Roman, and others). Fixed-spaced fonts are generally used in programs such as
spreadsheets and databases, where it is important for columns to line up vertically.
Proportional-spaced fonts are generally used in text and word-processing programs.
