text width in textedit or another program How do you adjust text width?
I am sign writing a sign for a friend into timber,  all i want to do is print out the stencil so i can use it. Everytime   I enlarge the text the width changes ! I want tall skinny letters as I am limited on the sign length
If I understand you correctly, you want your text to increase in height but not in width. The typical text editor/word processor doesn't support this, there are at least two options you could investigate on


Get a proper word processor (Pages, LibreOffice, MS Word) and either pick or install a font which matches your need
Get a drawing app which allows you to stretch images (a lot of them do) from the App Store
