Trying the following

Set_Printer("INIT"…)

X=Get_Printer("PRINTERINFO")

Y=Get_Printer("FONTS")

Set_Printer("TERM",3)

X returns info.

Y returns OIPI -9 error (invalid MSG parameter to Get_Printer)

Why?

How can one get lists of fonts for user to select font in format intelligible to OIPI - noting that size returned by UTILITY("CHOOSEFONT"…) isn't?

Thanks in anticipation of help.

I've just tried this same sequence in OI 4.1.3 and FONTS works fine - so it seems to be a new bug in OI 7.0. No mention in the 7.0.1 readme of a fix.

How does the new Report Builder get the printer's fonts in intelligible format?

Richard -

We use CHOOSEFONT and convert the values to more meaningful font sizes programatically.
