... a bit of 'hacking' here I fooled around with pr123.exw, *after* making EzCreateFont() global in win32lib. A slight modification to print_stuff() allowed me to specify a different font, but I was surprised to find that I had to re-do this for *every* page. -- modified start to print_stuff() procedure print_stuff(sequence a) --a is filename atom myphdc, i, j, charheight, width, hor, ver sequence mypr, textinfo, string1 atom xhFont,ok mypr=DefaultPrinterName() myphdc=GetPrinterDC(mypr) -- ez_flags (id,hdc,fontname,size*10,0,attributes,0) -- Arial,12,Bold,Italic !!! xhFont=EzCreateFont(0,myphdc,"Arial",120,0,3,0) ok=w32Func(xSelectObject,{myphdc,xhFont}) -- and before each ( next page ) I had to do this again: ok=w32Func(xDeleteObject,{ok}) ok=w32Func(xSelectObject,{myphdc,xhFont}) BTW, as Derek reminded me, this stuff won't work in WinNT/2000, because the flag PRINTER_ENUM_DEFAULT used in printws.ew can NOT be used in this OS. -- reading a Win2000 registry isn't my thing, since I don't have access to one...
