Sounds like your original report/file is too wide and you need to format the original report to be smaller. Changing the font size usually will not not help because the font information is not part of the flat ASCII report file.
Here are some possibilites:
(1) You must format the original report to be around 80 chars vs. the large 134 chars (maybe not what you want);
(2) You could convert the ASCII report file to another format that has formatting information, i.e. RTF, PDF, PS or some other format that has font size information and other formatting embedded in the file.
BTW: There are many kinds of freeware UNIX utilities to do this conversion. The conversion process has flags to add the formatting you need. I've even seen/used an crude ASCII to .DOC converter, but I think it was just a beta kludge.
This is an interesting question and I'm very interested to see the different approaches from other forum members. PxT, any ideas?

tftopl
TFTOPL(1) General Commands Manual TFTOPL(1)
NAME
tftopl - convert TeX font metric (tfm) files to property lists
SYNOPSIS
tftopl [OPTIONS] tfm_name[.tfm] [pl_name[.pl]]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file or manual
Web2C: A TeX implementation.
The tftopl program translates a (program-oriented) font metric file to a (human-oriented) property list file. Thus, you can edit the con-
tents of the TFM files, if the font designer has not done his or her job properly, or if you're encountering strange difficulties, or if
you're just curious. It also serves as a TFM-file validating program, i.e., if no error messages are given, the input file is correct.
The pl_name is extended with .pl if it lacks a suffix. If pl_name is not given, standard output is used. Likewise, tfm_name is extended
with .tfm if it lacks a suffix. Also, path searching is done for the TFM file using the environment variable TEXFONTS. If that is not
set, tftopl uses the system default.
See tex(1) for the details of the searching.
OPTIONS
-charcode-format=format
The argument format specifies how character codes are output in the PL file. By default, only letters and digits are output using
the C integer code (i.e., in ASCII); the others are output in octal. (Unless the font's coding scheme starts with TeX math sy or
TeX math ex, in which case all character codes are output in octal.) If format is ascii, all character codes that correspond to
graphic characters, besides the left and right parentheses, are output in ASCII. Finally, if format is octal, all character codes
are output in octal.
-verbose
Without this option, tftopl operates silently. With it, a banner and progress report are printed on stdout.
