This variable allows you to disable an automatic font adjustment that is
applied on Windows machines. The runtime attempts to adjust automatically for
differences in the relative proportions between "small fonts" and "large fonts."
You can inhibit the adjustment by setting this variable to "0" (off, false, no).
The adjustment is provided because the internal scaling of fonts under Windows
changes between "small" and "large" fonts. Under small fonts, digits are
slightly wider than the average character. Under large fonts, digits have the same
width as the average character. ACUCOBOL-GT uses the size of the font's width
for many calculations. Thus, the change in relative proportion within a
single font can cause problems for screens designed for the small fonts. For
example, a frame may not be big enough to hold its contents. To prevent this
problem, the runtime ensures that the "standard font measure" is always a bit larger
than the average character width in a font. To disable this adjustment, set
this variable to "0".
