Well - after creating a stack that takes an image of a field and puts it right underneath the field, so that I can print it out and compare the screen font width to the printed font width for various fonts...
I have concluded that Modern and Garamond are the two best fonts to use, if one is hoping to have the printout look similar to the screen. When printed, both of those fonts are just a teeny bit less wide than they are on screen. Thus, words in fields are not likely to get cut off after printing, and the spacing will be similar. I have a variety of ideas on how to make it print exactly like it is supposed to - but all of these ideas are really very complicated. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Gaskin Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2005 12:55 PM To: How to use Revolution Subject: Re: More on Windows printing...

It seems you're not paranoid at all. The decades' old rumors of Micro$oft using undocumented APIs in their own apps were confirmed in some of the anti-trust lawsuits won against them by more than two dozen governments worldwide in recent years.

The ultimate result is that some innovations that would truly benefit consumers never occur for the sole reason that they do not coincide with Microsoft's self-interest." -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation __________________________________________________ Rev tools and more: http://www.fourthworld.com/rev _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
