If the sizing was all working nicely, the fonts would line up exactly  
on the top section when both are set to 10 point since they are the  
same font.  That is what we are trying to achieve.  But that doesn't  
happen very much.

So here are the three tests, from the top to bottom:

- top: adjust the font size in the canvas until it matches the  
message box. Move the message box over the canvas font so it lines up  
it exactly.  Mark down the font size in the canvas.  If you can't get  
an exact match, write (closest)

- middle: copy and paste one of the canvases with the dimensions in  
it (e.g. 69x16).  Take this canvas and make it fit exactly over the  
[courier10( message box. then put it in the right place in the grid.

- bottom: copy and paste one of the canvases with the dimensions in  
it (e.g. 53x6).  Take this canvas and make it fit exactly over the  
comment "courier1)". then put it in the correct place in the grid.

Here's an updated version:
