Re: [sqr-users] Relative Printing with a PDF File

[Ray Ontko <rayo@ontko.com>]

Hi Margaret,

When you use relative positioning, make sure that the size of your
character cell matches the font size.  In this case, 12-point
courier would dictate a char-width of 12*0.6 = 7.2 pts (10 char/inch).  
Another popular size for Courier is 10pt which results in a 
char-width of 10*0.6= 6 pts (12 char/inch).  What does it say
in your declare-layout?
