Dean et al.,
With tables and such, I usually publish
a one-liner describing the font I used, e.g:
[This text is formatted in Courier 11, non-proportional spacing.]
Which works out to be exactly the same length as a standard line
of Courier text using the DOS screen font and Supreme Court mar-
gins. In this way, you end up with Esperanto: even TYPE and EDIT
can be used to view simple ASCII text, and it looks great.
Just a thought ...
/s/ Paul Mitchell
p.s. Supreme Court margins are:
0.75" top and bottom
1.60" left margin (auto line #'s are okay)
0.40" right margin
headers and footers @ 0.50" from paper edge
