If a visual display designer dramatically reduces the character width of a fixed-width font on a financial information terminal, which consequence follows?

💡 Explanation

When character width decreases significantly in a fixed-width font, the space between characters becomes excessive. This requires a reduction in tracking, the uniform adjustment of space between characters, to maintain visual density and legibility, because characters otherwise appear isolated; therefore, decreased character width necessitates reduced tracking, rather than amplified kerning errors or increased character contrast.
