Proportional Spacing
Each printed character is contained inside a character cell. The width of
the character cell includes the character and the space around the
character.
• Disable. Each character cell is printed with the same width. Each
column in the printed text will line up.
• Enable. The width of each character cell varies with the width of the
character. For example, [i] takes less space to print than [m]. Using
proportional fonts generally increases the readability of printed
documents, giving text a typeset appearance.
