So I tell OIPI to set the font to Courier, 10 (field 1 and 2 of the font record).

Then if I do a get_printer("FONT") it tells me the font is Courier but that the pitch is 9.75. Why is this?

thanks

Dave-

I just duplicated it- WinXP - don't know why.

Must be a handling fee, or the nearest size to 10 that the font actually supports.

If it's an issue I can dig more.

I knew rti liked to get every bit from the developers but this ridiculous

and in follow up ..

1) the numbers did line up when I was typing everything out .. it is just when you view this page it messes up the formatting

2) is there a way that OIPI's preview screen could allow 'hightlight/copy' of the text?

Mike,

I have tested this in Word and OIPI (using Courier New)

If I set the font to 8, 10, 12 in word and print a line of 60 characters ALL characters fall right into place in the forms ruler.

Doing the same with OIPI the 8 creep out (expand) and the 10 shrink (contract).

I have sent you a word doc with the print for word and the OI routine.

Please let me know if it is me or it actually does as I say. I hope it is a simple calculation ..

Oh .. as mentioned before the 10 reports back as 9.75 (contracting?). The 8 shows as 8.25 (expanding?).

The 12 shows 12 AND it works correctly YEOW .. could I be on to something? You need me in the lab huh

Anyone had a chance to look at this? Mike did you get the file with the test data?

thanks

Got the file, still poking at it. Looks like OCX level issues so far.

We'll keep you up to date-

Mike,

Was wondering if you found out anything with this issue. We are having a hell of a time trying to print forms. What worked in AREV no longer works in OI.

Thanks,
