I have had some success using PCL language on HP printers to generate font changes and boxes using Ingres II. Not yet tried this with Ingres r3 but as the control codes are driving the printer it should work in the same way.

Arial is a proportional font, meaning that different characters have different widths. In order for the values to line up and not be 'disturbed' you need to use a fixed width font, like Lucida console or Courier, where each character is the same width. This is because reportwriter is a text-based tool. It generates text reports. If you want something that produces so-called 'rich text' with fonts, colours, italics and possibly images etc - you need something else, something like Visual Express or Crystal Reports can do this kind of thing I believe. Those are Windows based reporting tools.
