font selection with ?|??

[michaelkatz]

I am trying to use the ?|?? commands to sned dat to a printer and eventually create a PDF file.

I am having trouble selecting a fixed space font, or any font for that matter. I believe my syntax is correct.

Is therer a setting I am missing, such as where to find the font???

What version and SP level of VFP are you using? Why not use the report writer, or put everything into a string with TEXT...ENDTEXT and use sTRTOfILE() to write it out?

Note: ?|?? were best used in the DOS environment in FP 1.x or 2.x - not under Windows.

Thanks Rick.

I am using VFP 7.0 SP1

The output is .prg coded and involves taking data from memo fileds and sectioning each line with various print attributes.

Things were fine with the ??? and PCL commands b ut was not PDF compatible. Would @... say's work better.
