And to append to James comment, when you send these to a
laser printer the font will usually be converted by the
printer to accomodate the page size...at least in my
experience :)

She has a printfile that has 208 columns so she wants to
specify a CPI of 20
but a width of 208 instead of 220. I said that i always
make the printfile
width equal to the CPI times the page width in inches (20 x
11 = 220). Does
the page width not equal to 220 and a CPI of 20 cause any
problems that
anyone knows of?

Hmm. I think that if you do that with a print file that's untimately
going to be converted to a PDF, you might end up with an odd
sheet size
in the PDF.
