Hi Colin,

    I suggest you to use a fixed size font, like Courier new,
Fixed Sys, and so on... 

As it's possible to squeeze the font horizontally in order to adapt
the horizontal size, IIRC, before calling, e.g., the API CreateFontIndirect,
you can try to assign to the lfWidth member of LOGFONT structure a appropriate 
value to fit the text for 132 cols.

Regards

Giuliano
