| |
| <para>Specifies with em units the width of a single character |
| of the monospace font. The default value is <literal>0.6em</literal>.</para> |
| |
| <para>This parameter is only used when a <tag>screen</tag> |
| or <tag>programlisting</tag> element has a |
| <tag class="attribute">width</tag> attribute, which is |
| expressed as a plain integer to indicate the maximum character count |
| of each line. |
| To convert this character count to an actual maximum width |
| measurement, the width of the font characters must be provided. |
| Different monospace fonts have different character width, |
| so this parameter should be adjusted to fit the |
| monospace font being used. |
