I am using a print file to print names that can be a maximum length of 66 bytes.
A co-worker tells me that you can somehow know how much space a name takes up, even though the print is proportional.
He also said he did not have any more information on that, just heard you could do it.
So if the first name occupies the full line, you would test and advance to the next line.
If it does not take up the full line, you can test the next name and see if they can both fit on the same line.
THIS NAME TAKES UP THE FULL LINE OF PRINT WWWWWWWWW YES IT DOES
THIS IS A SHORTER NAME THIS IS ANOTHER SHORTER NAME
Easy when you use CPI, but I suspect my co-worker wants to make me look stupid, forever engraved in cyber space, thinking you
can somehow test how much space is used in proportional printing.
TIA
