<h3 class="section">Widths</h3>
<p>The <dfn>width</dfn> of a font specifies the compression or expansion of the
font. Arranged from narrowest to widest (more or less):
<pre class="display"> ultra compressed, extra condensed, compressed, condensed, narrow
regular
extended, expanded, wide
</pre>
<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 <code>n</code> and
<code>e</code>.
<p>Here is the table, from the file <code>width.map</code>. It is organized
alphabetically by abbreviation. Each line consists of an abbreviation
and any parts of a PostScript <code>FontName</code> which use that
abbreviation.
<pre class="example">
c Condensed Cond
e Expanded
n Narrow
o UltraCondensed
p Compressed Compact
q ExtraCompressed ExtraCondensed
r Normal Medium Regular (usually omitted)
t Thin
u UltraCompressed
v ExtraExpanded more than <tt>Expanded</tt>, less than <tt>Wide</tt>
w Wide
x Extended Elongated
