Re: Print problem - if monospace font specified, prints in variable spacing

Hi Michael

Yeah, I can set the font size - by default it takes the screen font settings.

There is a print.font thing - I've not really tried changing that on the command line - there is not a place to set it in the preferences that I saw - there IS a preference under LPEX editor->appearance for the screen font setting.

I see a Print section under LPEX Editor, but it has margins and header and footer stuff only.

I believe I SHOULD be able to override any font settings in the command string for printing - I can do it when setting margins different from the defaults.

So I see a couple things here - probably a PMR needed for my last sentence about overriding stuff.

And an RFE to put font settings in the Print section of LPEX Editor.

[WDSCI-L] Print problem - if monospace font specified, prints in
variable spacing

Y'all

I wonder if anyone else has run into this - I like to use 14 point for
editing source, I use Lucida Sans Typewriter.

if I use the following command to print the selection -

print block leftMargin 200 rightMargin 200 font "Lucida Sans

Typewriter-11"

it prints at the 11 point size but with variable spacing.

I believe my syntax is correct - I mean, it does honor the point

setting.

Anyone else seen this?

It is not related to whether I print "block" or "visible" or the whole
thing, that I have seen.

I really don't like having to change the font size on the screen to get
smaller font on printing, then change back.

Thanks
Vern

I don't recall where the setting is, but I believe there is a preference
for this where you can specify the font and point size. There are a few
hits in the mailing list archives about using the set default.print.xxxx
editor commands, but again I seem to recall seeing a preference you can
set. I don't have time to hunt it down, but maybe someone else remembers
where it is or can tell me I've got an overactive imagination.
