The subject line says it, pretty much. HP's Monaco replacement font Courier does not print out the underscore character in 9 point. 12 point works, strangely enough. Removing the font from the Deskwriter Fonts folder works too, because then it just uses the Mac's Monaco font. (but then it doesn't look as good or prints as dark as Courier). Has anyone hacked HP's Courier font to print an underscore? If not, I'll try to fix it and post any results. I haven't looked at it too much, but it isn't a resource, just a data file. Doesn't look encrypted. --- Merlyn LeRoy

Thanks to email from a couple of people, the underscore problem is solved (at least for Think C, which doesn't print ANY underscores in Monaco 9 when turned into Courier on the HP DeskWriter). Just selecting the Courier font, instead of Monaco, fixes things. The underscore vanishing is a roundoff problem, and Think C happened to hit a pathological case where it would vanish for every line of text. --- Merlyn LeRoy

All my #defines that had an underscore in them were coming out as two seperate words.
