We use Terminal font (non-proportional) for xp, vista and 7 printing without issue with dc_printfile and dc print on. Users running win .8 are having issues with it... it displays fine on the view, but prints as a proportional font, losing the column alignment.

does anyone know a non-proportional font (to maintain alignment) that we can use that will display properly and print properly in win .8

thanks,

bruce

Try Consola

Use use lucida console for screen display but have not used for printing.

I'm really getting tired of windows/express print issues with txt files (for our reports). It's been suggested that an alternative way would be to pdf the reports, view, then print them.

Is there a free (or inexpensive and distributable) pdf converter that:

- can easily be included in an update and automatically installed/configured requiring NO user intervention

- can paginate a text file

- will work on windows xp, 7, and 8

Any suggestions????

thanks

I'm still confused as to why you are having all these problems.

If you look at the source code for DC_PrintFile() it is very simple.
In fact, it is simpler than most print jobs.

Is it possibly the length of your print jobs that are causing the problem?
Are there a lot of pages?

Can you provide a test program?

Have you looked at the installed fonts on your .8 computer to see if you are using a font that has been installed?
