CHARACTER PITCH
Character pitch determines how many characters will print on each
line. You can choose a specific fixed width for each character in
characters per inch (cpi), or Proportional. The higher cpi settings are
often used for spreadsheets.
Proportional (
PROP
) sets character widths based on the character
itself: e.g., the letter i is assigned a narrower width than the letter m.
This provides a more polished, typeset appearance.
