formatForPrinting from the Rev Docs
Comments:
Windows systems may use different font versions for printing and for screen display, and the spacing of the print version may differ from the spacing of the screen version. This can result in layouts and line breaks differing between the screen display and the printed result. For the best appearance of printed cards in a stack, make sure the stack is closed (and not in memory), then set the stack's formatForPrinting property to true before opening the stack to print it.
Important! Do not edit field text in a stack whose formatForPrinting is true. Doing so can cause display anomalies. Set the formatForPrinting property to false before you make changes to text in fields.
The spacing of printer font versions usually results in a difficult-to-read display when these fonts are used for screen viewing. To avoid display problems, set the formatForPrinting property to true only when printing. To let the user preview the appearance of the printed output, set the formatForPrinting property to true before opening the stack.

I just tried it, and it was different. Maybe it depends on the font or something.

It's not the answer to world peace, but formatForPrinting property keeps the fonts consistent looking between printer and screen on Windows...at least it did with Rev 2.2. Haven't had to try it with 2.5.
