Report fonts for both normal and ascii reports

[mm0000]

My reports all have been set to an Arial font. However, the problem is that if I report to ascii file the formating/spacing in many cases gets affected - overlapping, truncating, reports fields getting misaligned - is there any font that I can use which would not cause any formatting problems for both normal and ascii reports - otherwise I would have to test each report for its ascii output and adjust the reports accordingly - or create another set of reports specifically for ascii reports only.

Have you tried using a non-proportional like Courrier New?

Actually, I've found that this IS the choice you need to make - lowest common denominator OR two reports one for printing and one for text files.
