Wie behebe ich diesen Fehler?

To calculate the font size or the increment of a font correctly, the
printer driver requires information on the width of each character in
the selected font. This width is specified in the unit "EM". One "EM"
means 1/1000 of the font used. This is therefore a relative and not an
absolute unit of measurement.
If you specify the value 1,000, for example, this means that the
characters in the PostScript font are as wide as they are high, that
is, the character width is identical to the character height. The
correct value for the PostScript font "Courier" is for example 600,
that is, the width of a character in "Courier" font is 60% of the font
height.
You can find out the correct value for the selected font from the font
manufacturer or from the documentation that was delivered with the font
or the PostScript printer.
POST printer driver for PostScript:
If the value you have specified does not match the actual font metrics
of the PostScript font, formatting errors will occur when you output
the print list using this format type.
SWIN printer driver for Microsoft Windows printing using SAPLPD:
If the value you have specified does not match the actual font metrics
of the font, formatting errors will occur when you output the print
list using this format type. If you entered "0", the SWIN printers
positions each character individually in SAPLPD. This increases
considerably the amount of time required for print formatting in SAPLPD
running under Microsoft Windows.
