>I have more or less a problem similar to yours. I am rebuilding a Printed Voucher that needs to be issued only in one page, but includes a very big chung of letters in very small size. I managed to squeeze the whole thing in one page by using Arial Size 7, but now, after finishing it during many hours to have it fit, legals say the small letters should be at least 2mm high !@#!$

You may try with Arial Narrow, that should fit more text horizontally while still being tall enough. I know I used it in some situations when it had to be squeezed yet readable.

As for the calculation, you can try with a few FontMetric() measurements for a few fonts - that would give you measure in pixels or ens (or ems?), and then look at home()+"Tools\Filespec\90frx.frx" " - there's some info on what hpos, vpos, height and width in a .frx use for unit of measure.

OK, found it - these numbers are in 1/10000ths of an inch. You can do the math from there.
