>>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 !@#!$

Hi Dragan,
I've tried Arial Narrow, but for numbers I need non-proportional font, since all the amounts are actually in one string. What would be your suggestion? I guess, if it's non-proportional, it can not be narrower.
Thanks again.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
