  You can move your tables.  There, happy?
  I think it's probably true, too.  The Sprint font width tables give the
width of the letters in the font in units of the finest horizontal printer
motion you've told Sprint how to do.  I presume that's similar to what
you've got, because that's the only reasonable way to represent such
information.
  (Incidentally, I've got an interesting problem with my qms kiss laser
printer; the proportional fonts seem to be defined in terms of real
laser dots, 300dpi; the finest positioning options I've got only give
me 120th's of an inch... such fun!)
