For 100 try this:

   set the textShift of char 1 to -1 of field "Example" to -5 --  
about 5%

I don't know if there is a way to change a parameter of the field.

It seems a lot of bugs show up when things are done large.  Are you  
comfortable with reporting this on bugzilla?  (Assuming it is not  
already there)
