MS-DOS Visual B Fonts

I have an old Version 1 Visual Basic compiler. I do not use forms or any of
the new capabilities to Lprint. In Qbasic I could set the printer format
by Lprint CHR$(nn) statements (Underline, Bold, etc).
Non of the statements choosing fonts in the Forum are supported in
V1 Vbasic. How do I control fonts?
Thanks for your responses.

I thought VB started with version 3.0
Where can I get version 1 from?

Acyually there is no version number on my Visual Basic.
It is Visual Basic Programmming system for MS-Dos released in
1992 by Microsoft.

One of 2 ways:

Use Windows to select the printer and tell Windows to select the font
or
Look for the font select string in the printer documentation.

Neither one is trivial, though. You'll probably need an API to do the first one and there may be no way to do the second one (modern printers don't print fonts, they draw pictures that look like text in a particular font).
