How about this:
A/L +45 +100 +500 +1,000.-kg

SQ 4.50 3.50 3.20 O/R
TG 3.20 3.00
LH 3.80 3.60
This is an example of airline cargo rates per kilo (the numbers are
fictious and do not reflect the current market situation). Now, people
in my office actually send stuff like this with OE, and it looks good
on their screen. How's that for an argument in favour of fixed font?
