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.
