Re: Wrong font when printing from WDSC LPEX

1.- On my printer at home, setting Courier also defaults to some Arial-looking printout. However,

default.print.font "Courier New-8"

(the double quotes now needed because of the space in the font name) works fine. And my printer doesn't 'get' ProggyCleanTTSZBP-11 either... But I believe it now works for Matt.

2.- One can see the Editor.properties file by issuing

viewProfile

from any LPEX view's command line.

The print font setting in your profile shows

Looks like the opening double-quote is a wrong character!? Retry to set as:

default.print.font ProggyCleanTTSZBP-11

Deeply appreciate your posts, Adrian. Your insight is incredibly helpful! I exit WDSC 7.0.0.6, edit my Editor.properties file to remove default.swt.print.font entries, then start WDSC again and on the command line I enter (exactly, no quotes):

set default.print.font ProggyCleanTTSZBP-11

my properties end up as

default.swt.print.font.fontData="1|ProggyCleanTTSZBP|11|0|WINDOWS|1|-15|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|1|0|0|0|0|ProggyCleanTTSZBP"
default.swt.print.font="ProggyCleanTTSZBP-regular-11"

That is, the editor SET command puts the quotes in for us, and changes the name to "...-regular-11".

In the end, I still have print in the Arial font, just like Matt. Thinking I might have an issue with that non-standard font, I tried

set default.print.font Courier-10

giving

default.swt.print.font.fontData="1|Courier|10|0|WINDOWS|1|-13|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|1|0|0|0|0|Courier"
default.swt.print.font="Courier-regular-10"

and still prints in Arial.
