We have the same problem in 6.5+ as in 7.1: R:Base can render reports
on paper only but not in a text file. Therefore, I design the most
reports for both, printer and file, by creating code with different
DEC CUR commands and using SEL and WRI statements. Only reports with
fine text such as bold or italic or other fonts as courier or when
you need lines are constructed by report designer.
The size of fonts you can change in the rbase.ini in the section
[RPOutputDefaultFont]: TxtHeight=-16 for 12 pt., TxtHeight=-13 for 10
pt., TxtHeight=-11 for 8 pt. You must then COPY and RESET the ini
file.
But I have 2 questions: can I change the font family in the ini file
also?
TxtFaceName=Courier New
TxtPitchAndFamily=49
What is the Family for Arial?
And in 7.1/7.5, how we can change the font size and family in SEL and
WRI statements without rbase.ini?
