Re: Printing Source

I checked out the ProggyCleanTTSZBP and found it still to be too small. I scrolled further down the site (http://proggyfonts.com/ ) and grabbed the Crisp true type font. Now that is what I am talking about! At size 12 it is just right. Going to 14 blurs it. I like the fact that I can distinguish a zero(0) from an uppercase O or from a one(1) from a lowercase L(l). I seem to encounter problems with those issues all the time with the default Courier New font.

Mike,
Download the ProggyCleanTTSZBP font.  You will be much happier
with it.  It scales larger and you will probably want it set to 10 or
11.  I downloaded the "ProggySquareBP" font and yuck is all I can say.
I think it's the printer that has a problem with this font not WDSC,
since ProggyCleanTTSZBP prints on our printer (a Xerox model:
Workstation Pro C3545) just as expected.


Thanks, Matt

Could it be the difference of TrueType vs. non? I am using a
non-TrueType.

Mike,
        Did you try " set default.print.font "ProggyCleanTTSZBP-10""

in

the LPEX command line?  It prints just like it displays.

Thanks, Matt

I use ProggyClean and it doesn't print out in that font. Like I

said...

assume.
