Printer fonts

Hi

I have a report for which I have set the Epson LQ-1050 (dot matrix) as the
default printer. The problem is that I still can't see the printer's native
(hardware) fonts in the font selection drop down in report designer?

Thanks

Regards

Does Epson provide a specific driver for that printer for your version of
Windows? There are some significant differences at low levels in how dot
matrix and laser/inkjet printers work. This is a hardware, driver software,
and Windows problem... not a Report or Access problem. I had "issues" with
dot-matrix from the very beginning of my use of Windows with Win 3.0 (but
have not used a dot-matrix with Windows in many years).

from the menu bar. Click on the "TrueType Fonts" tab and see if there
is a check mark beside "Show only TrueType fonts in the programs on my

Thanks for this but there is no check mark there.

I found out that VB.Net supports only TrueType and OpenType fonts, in other words, it doesn't load printer fonts (device fonts) that are associated with a printer. I'm writing an application that will print to a POS printer and I would like to use its printer fonts for barcode printing. Is there a way I could load those printer/device fonts in my code? -- Anson

We currently are trying our first transformation from VB6 to VB.Net. Of course, the Printer object is gone, but I'm having trouble finding the replacement syntax necessary to perform similar actions or set variables. We are interested in doing this inline (no pop-up dialog box). Specifically, where how would I replace the following properties/methods of the old Printer objects. Printer.NewPage Printer.TextHeight Printer.TextWidth

I'm developing an app where the print output will be on a dot-matrix printer. I suppose the printers will either be an Epson or Okidata, not really sure at this point. I, unfortunately, do not have a dot matrix anymore. Can I design my reports using TrueType fonts? Should I only use Courrier fonts? And if so, is there a recommended point size? Will page ejects work OK? Any other caveats? Thanks

Whenever I try to use a Font that is specific to the printer I am using, the Font call returns a font that is loaded into windows instead. Here is an example in C#. .....Load printer information.... Font font = new Font("FontA1x1", 9.5F); //FontA1x1 is built into the printer After the call, the font variable equals Arial.

Hi I did a report a while ago set to Epson LQ-1050 and using the hardware fonts to speed up printing. Recently I had to make some changes to report but the problem is that the hardware printer fonts do not display in the fonts drop down in report designer even though I select the Epson LQ-1050 printer. What is the problem and how can I fix it? Thanks

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
