DeJaVu Sans Light is fairly thin. If you can find a standard font online which you find thin, you can use it.

Thanks for the fast response.

I have to use a standard font that came with the program, as I will be using a college machine that does not allow you to install new fonts.

Regards

The one I named is quite tin. If you also set the print quality to draft it will use even less.

what do you mean by most economic font?

if you're looking for thin, helvetic is a standard font and is thin, but not legible for standard reading. times roman is a standard font and it's thing.

Can you help with this problem?
