I am working in Fox Pro 2.6a for DOS and have been unable to change the font size of a report. The report was printing in what appeared to be 12pt font until I increased the Right margin Column to accomodate for landscape printing. This however shrunk the font to about 6pt. I entered the Printer Driver Setup and set the font to 12pt Helviticia Landscape, saved the enviroment and the report layout did not change. Any suggestions?
 
Unless you are using a product like SmartPD, I believe all font handling is done by the control characters as defined in the printer setup tables (P_CODES.DBF and FONTS.DBF) and these must be supported by the individual printer.

I am in the printer driver setup and the options are 'Laser Specific' or 'Manual Setup'. When I go to Laser Specific and add a font (from P_CODES.DBF) it has no effect. The font only becomes larger when decrease the Right Margin Column but then the page is no longer in landscape mode.
