Presumably your non-client also uses a monospaced font, since with the
proportional fonts in common use today a specific number of characters
can vary widely in actual line width, which, I assume, is your issue.
But like Chuck I suppose I can eschew the various advances in typography
and formatting that I use elsewhere and try to remember to stick to the lowest
common denominator here; I will continue to use the spelling checker though,
because I find typos and misspellings as in your original post a bit distracting...
;D
m
tell me how.
I'd say, for running text, wrap somewhere before 80 characters per line
(preferably before about 78, since some programs lose a column or two
on display - personally, I wrap at column 72). I'm sure others will
differ in various details, but I suspect most will probably be
somewhere close to that.
