17.15.1.62 printFractionalCharacterWidth

This element specifies the contents of this document shall be printed with fractional character widths. Fractional character widths exist when the spacing between characters is not constant (i.e. a proportional font face is used).

[Note: Fractional character widths are generally used in conjunction with large font sizes to prevent characters from running together or having too much space between one another. end note]

[Example: Consider a WordprocessingML document which should be printed using fractional character widths as needed. This requirement is specified using the following WordprocessingML markup in the document settings:

<w:printFractionalCharacterWidth w:val="true"/>

The printFractionalCharacterWidth element’s val attribute is equal to true, specifying that fractional character widths can be used as necessary. end example]

This element’s content model is defined by the common boolean property definition in 17.17.4.
