I don't think so.  I did know that there was an alternate-font option for
displaying messages (and in mine that's a proportional font) but not
until I explored more carefully did I find that while the window size is
fixed, I'm able to define the horizontal and vertical pixel sizes of an
average character as well as the virtual line spacing.  So in fact I can
distort a pic to any extent I like in any direction, as well as choosing
the font...  I could go mad playing with this system if I wanted.  Maybe
I'm already mad...
