Crystal prints my text slanted

[Terran23]

Here's what I've got on my dev machine:

Visual Studio.NET 2002
Visual Studio .NET 2003
Crystal Reports 9 Advanced Edition
MSDE as my Database Engine

One of my reports print just fine, but the other (for some reason) prints all of the text slanted SEVERELY to the left (opposite of the italics direction).

In addition to the slanting problem, it also appears to move each line of text a little further to the right for each row. Once the text on a row is long enough (or far enough to the right) that the text would wrap, the remaining text that SHOULD be wrapping is printed at the beginning of that same line.

e.g. If the text printed is:
"This is cool."
It actually gets printed as:
"ool. This is c"

Has anyone seen either of these issues before?

Thanks!

Sounds like a printer driver problem, or a font issue.

Try changing the font and if that fails, the printer driver.

Does it do this within Crystal, or from VS, both?

Also make sure that you apply the service packs releigiously:

It printed slanted from both Crystal and VS.

The latest Service Packs had already been applied.

Font didn't change it.

However, switching printer drivers did work. It seems that an OLDER driver worked, yet the newer one won't.

Interesting...

Well, thanks a bunch!
