documentation on Macola.ini

Macola 7.5.102e, Pervasive

Is anyone aware of any public documentation for the Macola.ini file? If so, where would one find it?

I can't think of any, but is there anything you specifically need to understand about the ini file?

I want to change the default font for reports printed through Macola.

Many reports have a couple of columns on the left cut off.

Unfortunately this can not be done from the Macola7.ini. You need to have the user use the "font dialog" when printing the report and then choose a font that allows all data to appear for the report. You can find the "use font dialog" checkbox on the print dialog in Macola standard reports.

The other option is to try to use a different printer "compatable" printer driver that gets you the results you are looking for. For example, if you are currently usin a PCL 6 driver try downgrading to a a PCL 5 driver.

Both suggestions were helpful.
