How the System Font Differs from the Large Font
The four-line System font is slightly different from the Large font, which also
takes four lines per screen. The four-line System font is a “fixed-width” or
“monospace” font, and the four-line large font is a proportional font.
In fixed-width fonts like the system font, every character and space occupies
the exact same width. In proportionally spaced fonts like the large font, each
character occupies only the space it needs to display that particular character.
So, for example, an
m character takes up more space than an i character.
This example shows the difference between the two fonts. Note the different
widths of the words “William,” “ill,” and “lollipop” in each illustration.
