Clue: Choice of letter size for keyboarder (5)
Answer: ELITE
Explanation: Definition: Choice of letter size for keyboarder
In the days when people used typewriters, "elite" and "pica" were tow choices open to the stenographer. Elite allowed 12 characters per inch, whereas pica allowed 10. The clue is more of a straight definition/general knowledge clue than a cryptic one though. (EDIT- *see comments below*)
