Hi, I am writing a graphing program with Laser C that creates metafiles for high resolution output. I am using the OUTPRINT.PRG program from Easy-Draw to print out the metafiles. When I try to specify the size of a font using vst_point(), it looks great on the screen, but when I print out the metafile I create, it always prints the font very small. I am not sure what the size it, but it is the same every time. If I use vst_height, it prints out larger fonts, but I can't get exact point sizes, so the fonts are scaled and don't look very good. I am using NDC coordinates. Everything looks great when I create Metafiles with Easy-Draw the output looks great. I am using the Epson 24 pin drivers from easy draw to print stuff out. Does anyone know what is going on? Also, how can you print to the printer directly? When I try opening device 21, it just ejects a empty page. Thanks Dan
