Re: SQR Printing

     Hello,

     I assume you are using Postscript output to get the italic fonts. Here
     is a test program that I did that produces pretty good results. This
     is a version 3 example:

     Begin-Setup
     Declare-Layout Default
      char-width = 4.32
     End-Declare
     End-Setup

     Begin-Program
     use-printer-type PS
     alter-printer font=5
     print 'not italic font' (1,1)
     alter-printer font=32
     print 'italic font' ()
     alter-printer font=5
     print 'not italic font' ()
     alter-printer font=32
     print 'italic font' ()
     End-Program

I am trying to print the value of a 50 char length field using SQR. Within
this field I want to italisize any characters within #s. This means there
is a  need to use 2 different fonts just to print the 50 char length field.
  My great problem is that, using two different fonts in the same line
gives a very big space whenever there is change in font.

Is there a way to let the print out look normal in spacing ( without
leaving a very big space).

Any comment, suggestion, help is greatly appreciated.  Please send me
lines to mpaulo@metz.une.edu.au . Thank you in advance.
