OIPI Column Header Font problem? (OpenInsight 32-Bit)

Not sure if this is a problem with OIPI or Slist. I have a report that looks fine in the Viewer but when printed from the Viewer the entire report including the details gets the Underline font duplicted from the column headers.
Looks ok from the Viewer or if printed without viewing.
Tried to duplicate using the Report Builder without success.
Thanks,
John

John,
Fundamentally it is a bug with the OIPI but it affects S/List and Report Builder+ unless they are programmed to work around it. What's happening is if a font is used that has attributes like bold or italic and then this same typeface is used immediately afterwards but those attributes are left undefined (i.e. so the default values of 0 are used), it seems that those attributes are cached when it comes time to print from the preview window. If those attributes are explicitly set then the problem goes away. Therefore, it would seem the workaround for S/List and Report Builder+ is to create FONT structures that always set each attribute of the font.
FYI, we recently reported this to Revelation.

Thanks for the info… I guess that explains why I did not see it in Report Builder because there is a default font in the options and it must be explicitly setting this.

I am not able to duplicate this behavior in Report Builder or OIPI.

Bob,
I'll see if I can write a quick routine or report that duplicates the behavior for us and send it to you.
