Hmmm, on closer examination the OpenType spec defines the usWidthValue [1] as a two-byte unsigned short (i.e. 0 - 65535) but with a defined set of width values running from 1 - 9: 1 Ultra-condensed FWIDTH_ULTRA_CONDENSED 50 2 Extra-condensed FWIDTH_EXTRA_CONDENSED 62.5 3 Condensed FWIDTH_CONDENSED 75 4 Semi-condensed FWIDTH_SEMI_CONDENSED 87.5 5 Medium (normal) FWIDTH_NORMAL 100 6 Semi-expanded FWIDTH_SEMI_EXPANDED 112.5 7 Expanded FWIDTH_EXPANDED 125 8 Extra-expanded FWIDTH_EXTRA_EXPANDED 150 9 Ultra-expanded FWIDTH_ULTRA_EXPANDED 200 What misinterpretation of width values are you thinking about? Specifically, I don't see there being a definition of width values running from 000 to 999. Regards, John Daggett [1] http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/os2.htm#wdc
