I don't have a problem with wrapping. The number columns just seem to use a
bigger font. Here's my font settings:
Encoding: Western
Variable: Times New Roman 12
Fixed: Courier New 10

it's possible. It does seem odd that my fixed and variable font sizes don't
match. It looks like the number column uses the fixed font and the group
names use the variable font. Somehow this makes the numbers bigger even
though the font size is smaller. Hmmm...
In any case, can anyone recommend some good font settings?
