If the font chosen is too wide a premature line break will occur when the cursor reaches the right edge of the edit window. You can use the two line example in the layout window as a rough guide to avoid this:

Fonts are chosen with setup/layout configuration. In this menu you can also configure italics spacing and gutter size (free space on both sides of the text).
