I'm having some trouble making my printouts look like my screens. I'm just
using "Print this card". It works well most of the time. But the text size
is slightly different on the printer and on the screen. Does anyone have
any hints on how to avoid this problem?
I've got a sample at http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/phil/MC_Demo/. The
screen snapshot looks good to me. I was hoping for the same thing when I
printed it out. The result, which I scanned back in, has one character
partially chopped off. On screens with more text, the problem gets worse.
It looks like the text is slightly larger on the printed version AND the
text is not being centered correctly on that version. On the screen the
space between the boxes and the text shows that there is about as much free
space on either side of the field. On the printed version, the text on the
left side is in the same position, but the text on the right runs outside of
the boundaries of the field.
I'm working with Windows NT 4.0. The font is Arial, a true type font. The
printer is an inkjet from HP. The printer does not know postscript and it
does not have its own fonts. I'm using MetaCard 2.3.
