[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] hypercard print report question

ahlenius@cell.mot.COM (Mark Ahlenius) (01/13/90)

Is anyone familiar with using the Print Report function
in Hypercard ?

Each time I use it I have   2 problems:
1) the space betwext the 1st and 2nd label is always
   off by one, the remaining label spacing is fine.
2). I cannot get it to use any other fonts than the one
	it defaults to - which is about an 8 pt. Helv.

	This font is really too small for easy reading
	on mailing labels.

	thanks in advance.

			Actually 10 pt, but it is small

The laserwriter prints them fine, but I just recently wrestled with this on
a client's imagewriter. [printdrivers from hell]

The solution: have a fake card at the front of the stack or background, set
the tractor feed labels [assume 1" label width] at the second hole even with
the top of the plexiglas cover [ie, off by one line].

As for the default font, ..... still waiting for 2.0 .....
