I have an interesting little problem that I guess has been tackled before but I can't find anything relevant around at the moment. What I want is a font (that can be displayed on CRT displays) that can be used for tabular data (ie requires a fixed pitch so that numbers line up in columns) and for free flowing text (ie proportional) but that looks 'similar' to the viewer. Most fixed pitch fonts seem to be 'chunkier' than proportional fonts and thus don't look to good when they are placed on the same screen. Any references would be welcome. I have access to postscript for experimentation so I maybe just need a font name or two to play with. Thanks in advance Malcolm -- The views expressed are my own rather than my employers. Mind you lots of other guys round here feel the same way. Malcolm Melville
