Can I tweak spacefactor and spaceskip to give an impression that there are 15 cpi. you can create a shinked font i.e. make an instance with .85% wide chars (contrary to an extended one) I guess someone made the requirements in 1950 or 1960, and others are blindly copying them.

Maybe, I should typeset everything in monotype font :) I remember we had a ball-based typewriter at Kluwer Academic that had variable width characters as well as different fonts: one per ball. We had a whole bunch of these balls in a cardboard box. So maybe, they even had variant widths like Times10 @ 10cpi, Times10 @ 12cpi ?

[NTG-context] Characters per inch with ConTexT
Hi, I am writing a document where the guidelines say that I should use Times Roman font at 10pt with 15 characters per inch and 6 lines per inch. I am using thermes from tex gyre rscaled=1.015 as the bodyfont. At this setting I get a bit more less than 6 lines per inch (which is fine) but roughtly 17 characters per inch. Any way I could setup fonts so that both these criteria is automatically met? Why do people come up with such criteria :(( Aditya ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
