Ralph, I think the font selection string should be
<244>FTimes New Roman<244><244>P13<244> rather than <244>FNew Times Roman<244><244>P13<244> Also, make sure in your Windows\Fonts folder you have a Times New Roman font, as well as a Times New Roman Bold font.

Extensive testing at home shows that I cannot effectively use BoldOn and BoldOff codes where I'm also inserting DPSpool font codes. In such cases, the bolding is ignored.

However, it I surround all that with BoldOn and a BoldOff codes (whether inserted as <157> and <156>, or inserted by DP itself, the bolding is ignored. > > > > If I remove the DPSpool codes you see above, and just insert DP BoldOn and BoldOff codes, it works fine. > > > > On Dec 8, 2011, at 10:27 PM, Ralph Alvy wrote: > > > >> Maybe it was DOS text. I'll check that out. But I doubt it, since some of the bolding was correct, some not. I imagine none of the DP inserted bolding would have worked if it was DOS text, but some did. The driver at home is an HP universal PCL6 driver and the one in the office was an HP universal PCL5 driver. The former worked. The latter didn't. At least, if it was a driver problem. > >> > >> On Dec 8, 2011, at 8:41 PM, Tim Rude wrote: > >> > >>> Ralph, > >>> > >>> Did you make sure that your report output format was WP and not DOS > >>> Text? > >>> > >>> Tim Rude > >>> > >>> > >>> ----- Original Message ----- > >>> From: "Ralph Alvy" <[email protected]> > >>> To: <[email protected]> > >>> Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2011 9:35 PM > >>> Subject: Re: [Dataperf] DPSpool and Bold On and Off > >>> > >>> > >>>> I wonder if this a printer driver problem, as it works fine at home on > >>> my XP virtual window under Parallels on my new Mac. > >>>> > >>>> On Dec 8, 2011, at 4:24 PM, Ralph Alvy wrote: > >>>> > >>>>> Been trying out DPSpool lately, and notice that using Bold On and > >>> Off > >>>>> codes (inserted by DP or manually inserted as <157> and <156> > >>> sometimes > >>>>> print out as something like this: > >>>>> > >>>>> !!"# > >>>>> > >>>>> followed by other jibberish like the above.
