HI Derek,

thank you for your answer.

I did not realize that 'fix' had a dramatic meaning (my English is
Power-Translator made ;) I was joking of course, but didn't want to mistreat the
authors of Euphoria, which I consider, after only few months of practice, a
masterpiece! (rather they play badly my 16 years of misadventures with Windows).
 
Indeed the weak point of EU is the documentation, above all for who needs to
deepen, but has no practice.

Thanks for your new function, that resolves the necessity to know what's going
on with the Fonts.

Incidentally, a new observation which may be useful, if not known: 
I had to experience that on preparing a printout, the Print_to_File option set
through the funtion getPrinter() is somehow climbed over by the call
getPageSetup(); I mean that if the 'print to file' option has been checked and
after that the getPageSetup() is called for the page definition, this sends the
print action to the printer rather than to the designate file (and sometimes this
may hang the spooler).

Thanks for all.

Antonio
