However, you may see the fonts print correctly using the HP Laserjet 4000 driver. Other Postscript printer drivers may also print the fonts correctly. RESOLUTION ========== These fonts will print if the printer driver option to Print True Types as Graphic is chosen in the printer's options. NOTE: Printing True Types as Graphic may cause other printing issues, so make sure that you test this before implementing it. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3. For more information about Visual Studio service packs, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q194022 INFO: Visual Studio 6.0 Service Packs, What, Where, Why Q194295 HOWTO: Tell That Visual Studio 6.0 Service Packs Are Installed MORE INFORMATION ================ The following code creates an array that holds all of the installed fonts. The name of the font and an example of how the font looks prints on the printer and displays on the Visual FoxPro desktop. This program runs under any version of FoxPro. Steps to Reproduce Behavior --------------------------- Run the following code: CLEAR AFONT(aFonts) SET PRINTER ON SET DEVICE TO PRINTER FOR i = 1 TO ALEN(aFonts) ?aFonts(i) ??chr(9) + aFonts(i) FONT aFonts(i) ENDFOR SET PRINTER TO SET PRINTER OFF SET DEVICE TO SCREEN NOTE: The Wingdings font example generally prints in the Times New Roman font instead of in the Wingdings font.
