When you say 'get a difference in line-width' do you mean a difference in line-height (i.e., leading) ? I ask because if you say you are getting no difference in width of letters or letter spacing, you have eliminated the two principal parameters for increasing line width (which I am taking to be roughly synonymous to line length).

What I did is to print out two identical samples, one with <SZ12pt,12pt> the other with <SZ12pt,19pt> using both an HP 4050 laser calling hp4-plus.prn. I get a difference in line-width but no difference in either the width of letters or the letter-spacing. I'm trying to get results from an Epson NX ink jet calling hpdj560c.prn, but so far it is putting out garbage.

PS isn't necessary. <SZn,m> works with any scalable Speedo font,
and, of course, a printer that can scale them. Worked fine with my
HP LaserJet, of happy memory, loading HPLJ-2P.PRN.
