proportional spacing

Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia

0.01 sec.

Character spacing based on the width of each character. For example, an I takes up less space than an M. In monospacing (fixed), the I and M each take up the same space. See kerning.

proportional spacing [prə′pȯr·shən·əl ′spās·iŋ]

(graphic arts)

Spacing in which each character occupies space according to its width.
