No difference. As the help states you simply get the default, which in this
case(arial narrow) is variable. Unless someone knows a better way I've found
my best fit with
Printer.Canvas.font.name := 'Courier';
Printer.Canvas.font.size = 8;
Printer.Canvas.Font.Pitch := fpFixed;
(at least I can now just squeeze 164 chars onto one line(portrait))

Subject: Re: [DUG]: Printing proportionally
Arial Narrow is a variable pitch font. According the the on-line help
setting
the pitch of a variable pitch font to fpFixed will cause Windows to
substitute
the nearest fixed pitch font. What happens if you set the pitch to
fpDefault?
