alkaloid

I'm using Windows, but willing to use others. For formatting, i need to use fixed-width fonts only. Can you recommend a font that has a short vertical dimension?I have access to Microsoft Office, Acrobat and free stuff.

I tried using jEdit but was not successful probably because I don't know how to use the macro.
I was somewhat successful with Excel. It has pretty good print control. I inserted page breaks with a simple macro I wrote in VBA.
