Several excellent points have been made, here is the state of things:

  • Righ-Justified for Source | Cannot Accomplish
  • Altering the Text to Downward Angle | Not going to attempt at this time
  • Caster Level Display only if different from base | Requires Consult

  • Concentration Display only if different from base | as per caster level? Also requires consult

Screenshot comments: http://wiki.pcgen.org/images/1/1e/Target_not_good.JPG Those targets do wrap, but we have a lot of whitespace elsewhere, a resizing of other columns may fix this. It would be beneficial to get some stats on average column size (any volunteers?)

http://wiki.pcgen.org/images/6/68/Long_Spell_Name.JPG Again, column size stats may help, we're never going to eliminate every field from *ever* wrapping, but there's a compromise somewhere (some calculation perhaps - over all spells for a high level cleric, what's the total line count for the display, does it increase or decrease if we change the column size for each field?)

If 90% of spell names (or target fields, etc) don't wrap, then the size is good, and by reducing column sizes to fit that 90%, then can we afford to move target back onto the header?

Definitely like this, can remove the '10' (Casterlevel entry) from the header line.
