Brio 5.0 font problems



Good people,
We have recently been forced to upgrade to Brio 5.0 Report Writer as it came
with our newest version of Maximo (some of you will understand).  Now when
we run our reports - which use to work - the fonts seem to have a mind of
their own until we run Alter-Printer.  That is, the reports come out with a
more Times-Roman type font and larger than we are specifying in the
declare-printer paragraph.  Then, when we run the Alter-Printer with the
same specs the report comes out looking like it should (and did).

Can someone please take a look at my set up below and tell me what I have to
change to accommodate Brio 5.0.  (You know, I liked them better when they
were SQribe - but Brio does put on one heck of a conference.)

I have also included a couple of sections from SQR.ini in cast that is where
our problems lay.

Thanks
Rick

[Fonts]

; The following are SQR predefined font styles.
; The numbers on the left are associated with font styles on the right.
; Users may define their own associations between font_numbers and font
; styles using the font_numbers 900 thru 999.
;
; Notes:
;
;   - If SQR does not find a particular font a substitute is used.
;   - If a font style (fixed or proportional) is defined inside SQR,
;     its style will override the setting in this file.
;   - Proportional is assumed if the second field begins with the character
'p'.
;     (i.e., "4=Arial,p" would equate to "4=Arial,proportional")
;   - Bold is assumed if a third parameter is supplied.
;
3=Courier New,fixed
300=Courier New,fixed,bold
4=Arial,proportional
400=Arial,proportional,bold
5=Times New Roman,proportional
500=Times New Roman,proportional,bold
6=AvantGarde,proportional
8=Palatino,proportional
800=Palatino,proportional,bold
11=Symbol,symbol
