Re: Print from Indented View

The underlying Eclipse platform doesn't have a font selection dialog for printers yet. By default, the current display font (as set via "Window" > "Preferences" > "LPEX Editor" > "Appearance" > "Change...") is used for printing as well. The printer may not support the same fonts, though, in which case it will use its default font (usually not a fixed pitch one...).

Try a few variations from the LPEX command line of the indented view (or any other view for that matter), for example:

   print.font "Courier New-10"
   print.font "Courier-8"

If you hit on an acceptable non proportional printer font, you can make the setting permanent, for example:

default.print.font "Courier New-8"

Eric,

I've tried this several times, even tried changing the fonts for the editor.
It is not using the same font for printer output. Right now, I'm using
Courier for LPEX font, and the printed output appears to be ARIAL, or some
similar "sans-serif" font. It is certainly not a fixed pitch font...... 

When I type FONT ARIAL into the iSeries Indent window, then the indent
window resembles the printed output.  Typing FONT COURIER at this point then
changes the window back to its original appearance.  Printed output still
resembles ARIAL.
