Or better yet, you could look into TeX or some other
command-driven text formatter. This allows one to get the highest
quality typesetting from database output. I'm currently involved
in a project where Oracle is producing high-quality bottle labels
(with Japanese text and occasional Greek letters) and I also
produce an article listing TeX output drivers using Paradox. Even
the dumbest database program can produce amazing output under
these circumstances.
