For anybody out there who has to make width tables for character widths on an Apple LaserWriter, note that the character widths for a "...-Oblique" font always seem to be identical to the base font, whereas the widths for "...-Italic" fonts are always different from the widths of the base font. So, for example, a line of text printed in Helvetica or Optima will be exactly the same length as a line of text printed in Helvetica-Oblique or Optima-Oblique, respectively. Brian
