You could customize the value of the `org-export-latex-verbatim-wrap'
variable to include a line of latex to shrink the font size. For
example
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent
(setq org-export-latex-verbatim-wrap
'("{\\scriptsize\n\\begin{verbatim}\n" . "\\end{verbatim}\n}\n"))
#+end_src

Thank you! That was just /exactly/ what I needed. The listings
approach seems neat for other cases, but mine is a simpler solution and
this nails it.

Precisely: that's why it was useless :-) I took a quick look at
Stevens's "Advanced Programming in the UNIX environment" (which I think
of as well-typeset) and I find that most of the time, he adheres to the
65-char limit - there are some comments that go up to 72 or so and stick
out a bit into the right margin. But I'm pretty sure he planned it to
the 65-char limit.

Here is one possibility: create a verbfont.sty file like this:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
\makeatletter
\def\verbatim@font{\normalfont\scriptsize\ttfamily}
\makeatother
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
and add this to your org file:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{verbfont}
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
Instead of \scriptsize, you can use any of the ones defined in
size1X.clo (for some X). If you use \tiny, you should package a
magnifier with the book...

Is there any chance that this won't work because I have a source snippet
in one language (sh) that returns as results a source snippet in a
/different/ language (a lisp-like domain-specific language)? I don't
off-hand see how I can come up with a single label for the source block
that takes this into account
This may be a weird enough case that I should be aiming at a solution
that is much simpler: e.g., just figuring out how to change all of my
verbatim environments to use a smaller font or changing the export
behavior so that /all/ verbatim blocks turn into listings blocks.

Is it necessary to specify what programming language is used in

there is no obvious listings setting and, anyway, what I am trying to
typeset is the /results/ of the source blocks, which are in a

I suspect I am just looking for a simpler solution, e.g., one which

This actually was pretty helpful. The problem is, of course, that I
can't rewrite all of my source code to be in 65-width lines, nor can I
convince my colleagues to do so.
So what I need now is some way to fix the verbatim environments that are
produced by org-mode to use a smaller font. I.e., instead of trying to
fix the source code to match char-width, fix the char-width to match the
source code. Any idea how to do that?

Tom provides the practical answers, I go for the frivolous ones :-) : the
following
latex program will give you the text width of the page:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\the\textwidth
\end{document}
%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End:
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
I get 345.0pt (but you can use geometry.sty to change it).
Let's say we want to use cmtt10 (at its design size of 10pt, i.e. not scaled up
or down). The character sizes of this font can be obtained from the TFM file. An
easy way to get them in human-readable form is to use tftopl:
tftopl /usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmtt10.tfm | grep CHARWD
will give you the character widths as fractions of the design size. Since this
is a fixed-width font, all widths are the same:
(CHARWD R 0.524996)
So the width of each character in points is:
0.524996 * design size = 5.24996pt
and you can accommodate
floor(345.0 / 5.24996) = 65
characters per line.
So there you have it: a frivolous exercise, almost completely OT for the
list and an almost useless answer[fn:1].
