I have a simple question ( don't they all start out this way ). I've used
the toolbox routine
SetTextFace($8)
to set the style of of the text (using he system font) to OUTLINE. Works
fine on the screen but doesn't work when printing. Is there any obvious
reason why this is so?

I writing to an Imagewriter-II and using System software V5.0 This one is really strange. I found a workaround by using the Install font instruction and using a different font, but I shouldn't have to do this with the default system font (right?). /chris ============================================================================= | Chris Shatara | Internet: shatara@memit.dec.com | | | shatara@memit.enet.dec.com | | Opinions expressed are | DEC Easynet: memit::shatara | | mine and mine only! | UUCP: ...!decwrl!memit!shatara | =============================================================================
