    Exclamation

    I am trying to print information from my database using the Printer.printer function. The printout is so small that I have to increase the size of the fonts to 35 using code, it then works fine on my system,but this is no good because as soon as I try the App on another computer the printout fonts are 3 times the size.
    Has anyone got an anwser??

    I noticed that on several versions of vb (eg vb5 without sp)
    the printer object has problems with the fonts. I also noticed that this normally can be fixed by assuring that setting a font actually changes the font of the printer. So if I want to print in Arial i set the font to Courier New first (could be anything as long it isn't arial and it is present on the clients machine).
    eg
    Printer.Font = "Courier New"
    Printer.Font = "Arial"
    Printer.Font.Size = 9
    Printer.Print "Hello World"
