>> but use pica (1/10"), > Um. No... A pica is 1/72 of a foot (1/6 inch) !! But back in the typewriter days, I recall pica type being 1/10" per character (and elite being 1/12" per character). And (almost) all monospaced too. I figured this thread needed more noise injected. :-) Lee Jones -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
