I got it with Arial Narrow 9 or 10, don't remember exactly. Beware, when you pull a field to the report, the width it has is much more than you really need. Load some large numbers or full strings into a test table and do a frequent preview. Make your fields narrower until you get ****** in them, then stretch a little.
