As installed, NewLeaf uses 12-point Times as the default font for all printing. A font is specified by a three-part description: the typeface, the character height in points and the line-spacing in points. For example, ‘TI,12’ corresponds to 12-point Times with default line-spacing (120% of the character height); ‘HEB,10/11’ corresponds to 10-point Helvetica bold with 11-point line-spacing. See Customising NewLeaf for a detailed discussion of fonts. So, to produce the table in 10-point Helvetica with default (12-point) line-spacing, type:

leaf.Init ª leaf.Use''
leaf.table.Font 'HE,10'
leaf.table.List salesQ1
View doc„leaf.Close

Note how many rows you can see in the Viewer. Now, squeeze them together by including an explicit value for the line-spacing in the font specification that is less than the calculated default and note how many rows you can see:

leaf.Init ª leaf.Use''
leaf.table.Font 'HE,10/11'
leaf.table.List salesQ1
View doc„leaf.Close

In common with many other table-handling features of NewLeaf, the font can be set by column. For example, to emphasise the totals in the rightmost column, specify a bold version of the same font:

leaf.Init ª leaf.Use''
leaf.table.Font ((¯1+¯1†½salesQ1)½›'HE,10'),›'HEB,10'
leaf.table.List salesQ1
View doc„leaf.Close

Next, include product names in 10-point Times and combine this with the appropriate alignment and formatting in the sales report:

leaf.Init ª leaf.Use''
leaf.table.Font (›'TI,10'),((¯1+¯1†½salesQ1)½›'HE,10'),›'HEB,10'
leaf.table.Align (›'left'),(¯1†½salesQ1)½›'decimal1'
leaf.table.Qfmt (›''),((¯1+¯1†½salesQ1)½›'CF8.1'),›'CF9.1'
leaf.table.List products,salesQ1
