Description

When the size is too much smaller than the original bitmap, the characters are too far apart horizontally.
When the size is too much larger than the original bitmap, the characters are too close together horizontally.

Example:

#amigaFont: "news" ' 23
#amigaFont: "2001" ' 8
#amigaFont: "ammolite" ' 10
#amigaFont: "courier" ' 11,13,15,18,24
#amigaFont: "garnet" ' 9,16
#amigaFont: "mFast" ' 20
#amigaFont: "peridot" ' 7

I reported this problem about 2 years ago (in beta RC3). It is still a problem.
Use the example program.
Press a key to cycle through the sizes.

The problem is that when the font height is scaled, the font width is not scaled accordingly.
Vertically, they appear to scale properly. The scale does not change horizontally.
