Re: font types

I'm not sure if this is a Windows function or HP but I always use font=4 for
Arial.

Hi all!

I'm using SQR 3.something on Informix.  Here's my question...I'm trying to
get my report to print out using Arial font type.  When I printed a list of
all available fonts from my HP laserjet5 menu it tells me that Arial is
internal font # 29.  Here is how I'm handling that in my code:

declare-printer AA
TYPE=HPLASERJET
point-size=6
FONT-TYPE=PROPORTIONAL
FONT=29
end-declare
declare-report account-analysis
  layout=condensed
  printer-type=HPLASERJET
end-declare

For some reason it isn't printing the report using the new font.  The font
it's using looks like Times Roman.  Additionally,
I've tried using several of the delivered fonts (without the FONT-TYPE
parameter) with the same results.  Everything
comes out looking like Times Roman.  I know that it's using my printer that
I have declared because I've changed the
point-size successfully.

I would love to know what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks a bunch!!

Kimberly
