[Dx4win] Setting Callsign font to Bold when printing labels
Jerry, changed my call header to the bold font and printed some labels. Printed in bold font OK. When I went back to File-Database-Labels, the bold was no longer highlighted but it was printing the bold font OK. I went thru the exercise and exited the program and restarted, still printed bold header font even tho it was not highlighted. I get what I select and do all the OK's on, but when you check the thing will show regular-but it is printing the bold font here . Looks like a small hiccup but the selected font is being printed here. 73 BILL-W5VW --- On Tue 12/27, Jerry.Van [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Jerry.Van [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2005 14:54:42 -0500 Subject: [Dx4win] Setting Callsign font to Bold when printing labels In DX4WIN 7.01 (also 6.04) I am unable to permanently set the Callsign font to Bold when printing labels.

[Dx4win] Setting Callsign font to Bold when printing labels
Bill, I just took a very close look at a sample label run and I agree with you. If I set Bold in the label database it does print a bold callsign without anything further. However, when I view the label database either before or after printing it still shows up as Regular. It seems to me that the label database should show the current setting for the callsign font. If there are no further suggestions from others I'll plan on sending a note to the author. Seems like a small change could resolve this. Thanks for your input.
