Printing Fonts

[James]

_Kurt and I are wandering how we would go about printing documents that have been set a font.

E.g.

The font in $DocEd1 is set to "Courier New" and we want to print out $DocEd1 with the font it has been set with.

_FilePrint only prints the document not the font. So how would we do it?

Maybe instead of _Fileprint you could write the text to Notepad, set the font and print from there.

Or maybe easier (though I haven't tried it) to use the SET PRINTER command line options -

see [url="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6y8f2cxk(VS.80).aspx"]

which lets you set the font name, style etc.

We have the font and everything set ready. It saves it all to the document. Thats why we had to make a new filetype *.btp to handle it, as normal *.txt files do not work with our new version.

Is SET PRINTER not suitable?

If the file contains a mixture of fonts,colurs and sizes then maybe a richedit would have been better.

Well, I will have to talk with _Kurt about changing to rich edit.
