Can Anybody Please let me know at  the earliest how to redue size of fnt Horizontally without Reducing the fon size Vertically in CYSTAL REPORT?

You can specify the spacing between characters, but you cannot specify a spacing that is smaller than the default.

You're other option is to change your font.  Several fonts have a "narrow" (or condensed or compressed) version.  Instead of picking the standard font, you can pick the narrow version.

You need to be very careful if you decide to change the font.  RE overrides some of the font characteristics based on the user settings.  Even if you pick a narrow font in your report, the user can override the base font.  You can prevent this by "conditionally" setting the font to your narrow font.  Even so, the font will only display correctly if the user has the font installed on their computer.

Personally, I hate it when people try to cram too much information into the space available.  People try to write custom reports that look like spreadsheets.  Reports are not spreadsheets.  They work best when there is a lot of white space.  If you want a spreadsheet, create a spreadsheet, not a report.
