Fixed font width problem

[gny]

On an invoice, I need to use an OCR-b font (which is fixed width). So I went and purchased a font and it looks great in design and also in other apps like MS Word. The problem is that when I run the report, it seems to "forget" that the font is fixed width. It of course needs to be fixed width or else the machine won't read it.

Any ideas?

At least in Crystal 8.5, what you get on the printer is never quite what you saw on the screen. And when I wrote an experimental report that included all of the scripts that would show on the screen, not all of them were recognised by the printer. I've seen it discussed before without a solution being offered.

Maybe you should repost in another forum, one for your version of Windows, asking for advise on getting a printer to accept fonts that the applications have.
