tips & tricks - max columns

   I did a table with max number of columns supported by
A4 paper on different font sizes (and tested in laser printers).
   If you wish, you can put in documentation.

+-------+------------------------+
|Font   |       Max columns      |
|Size   |  Portrait | Landscape  |
+-------+-----------+------------+
|8      |    121    |    174     |
|9      |    108    |    155     |
|10     |     97    |    139     |
|11     |     88    |    127     |
|12     |     81    |    116     |
+--------------------------------+

ps: left margin="0.0787"
ps2: this is the measures that works fine on laser printers (hp, 
magicolor, konica, etc) printing from Acrobat Reader 6 on Windows and Linux.
ps3: courier font (rlib default)
