When you tried to print in Lucida Console, did you use the set
command first? ...or, did you specify that value as a parameter to the
print command? If the former, I would expect it to print correctly. If

the latter, apparently, that does not work correctly and should be

fixed.

But, that would not be an RFE. That would be a PMR.

Dave(/Vern),

I did a 'set default.print.font'. However, I decided to try it again. I
believe I must have had the quotes wrong. Here's the command I just used
with successful results:

set print.font "Lucida Console-12"

Which defaults to "Lucida Console-regular-12"--i.e., defaulting "regular".
This enabled printing in Lucida Console.

So Vern should be able to use the following:

set default.print.font "Lucida Sans Typewriter-11"

That should get him the results he is after. (It prints correctly for me.)
And it should be retained across restarts. If not, I think a PMR would be
in order. It's either a problem on his PC, his RDi installation, the
printer he's printing to, or the connection to that printer.
