How to handle font size Bob? Doesn't it depend on what I've selected
for the co marker? Using SVG I'm getting plain numbers.. Does it vary?
Generally though, a wider left column
then wrap the right column would (IMHO) work just as well? The wrap
would look more natural?

I guess my 5 co with one description is an edge case though.

I will put in the RFE though.

Thanks. DaveP
