Re: Proportional Fonts and wrapping

Hello,

If Courier doesn't look 'good enough' why not use a better looking one?
Check out your printer(s) to see what other fonts it has. Newer printers
tend to have a dozen or more fonts built in, including a couple of fixed
pitch fonts in addition to Courier. For example the newer LaserJet's have
Letter Gothic which is a fixed pitch font that looks similar to the Arial
True Type font in Windows.

Dragon,

I don't know if I mentioned this in my earlier e-mail but the price lists
that I'm producing from SQR are not internal price lists but are external
and are sent to dealers/customers.  I tried printing part of a price list in
Fixed Courier once for a sample for my app's clients to view.  I would
defiantly have to agree with them that changing our font from Proportional
Arial to Fixed Courier may have a negative impact on our company's image.
Courier looks too much like it had been produced on a typewriter.

However, I do agree with you with regards to the ease of using fixed fonts.
MUCH EASIER to use.  I just wish there was a fixed font that was comparable
to Arial in quality.  I would switch to it in a heartbeat.

Thanks,
