<h3 class="section">2.5 Widths</h3>
<a name="index-widths"></a>
<a name="index-compression"></a>
<a name="index-expansion"></a>
<p>The <em>width</em> of a font specifies the compression or expansion of the
font. Arranged from narrowest to widest (more or less):
</p>
<div class="display">
<pre class="display">ultra compressed, extra condensed, compressed, condensed, narrow
regular
semiextended, extended, expanded, wide
</pre></div>
<a name="index-automatic-expansion"></a>
<a name="index-character-scaling_002c-automatic"></a>
<p>Expansion or compression of fonts is sometimes done automatically (as by
the PostScript <code>scale</code> operator), and sometimes done by humans. In
the latter case, the human will also presumably choose a font name which
includes ‘Extended’ or ‘Expanded’ or ‘Condensed’ or ‘Narrow’ or whatever
according to their own preferences; the abbreviation can follow along.
When creating a new synthetically expanded or compressed font for use
with TeX, e.g., with Afm2tfm or <code>fontinst</code>, use ‘<samp>n</samp>’ and
‘<samp>e</samp>’.
</p>
<a name="index-width_002emap"></a>
<p>Here is the table, from the file <samp>width.map</samp>. It is organized
alphabetically by abbreviation. Each line consists of an abbreviation
and any parts of a PostScript ‘<samp>FontName</samp>’ which use that
abbreviation.
