Re: Fonts and size when printing

Is there a preference that allows for the control of the font and or size
when printing source?

This was mentioned here before. 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. NB 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, for example:

   print.font "Courier-10"
   print.font "Lucida Console-8"

If you hit on an acceptable printer font in a good size, you can make the setting permanent, for example:

   set default.print.font "Courier New-8"

Enter

   help print.font

on the LPEX command line for more information on this.
