LibreOffice Writer:
Choose:
DejaVu Sans Mono
Setting tabs:
"On the ruler, set the tabs for the current paragraph, or all selected
paragraphs, using the mouse.
Initially the default tabs are shown on the horizontal ruler. Once you set
a tab, only the default tabs to the right of the tab that you have set are
available."
I was able to format the page to landscape and a page length of 20
inches. I did not try longer.
Looks like landscape will solve most(all??) of my problem.
Will be able to check further tomorrow.
Thank you.

I want to do what would be trivial on a 20th century wide carriage
mechanical typewriter. Current text editors {and even worse word
processors} are too good(sic) to be of practical use.
I _REQUIRE_:
a. fixed width font {Courier preferred}
Selectable font width. Only one width for each document.
b. *MUST* be able to set tab STOPS to an explicitly chosen column #
[Those of my generation fondly remember flipping down back cover
of the carriage, physically removing the "tab stop", and
reinserting at the notch of the desired column ;} ]
c.
Extra points if in Debian repository.

Long live the 026 :}
