Fonts and aligning

[flopo]

Hi guys,

I have never noticed this before till 3 days ago. I have a word template (docx) that I have to replicate exactly in CR.
Here comes the problem... it seams that fonts differ in size and type when exporting from CR and from MS Word.
For example Georgia size 18 exported from CR is smaller then Georgia 18.
Also I must note that the template has a font called Calibri (Body) is not present in CR.(As a workaround I writhed the font name for each field).

Do you have any ideea why and what can I do?
Many thanks,
Florin POP
ps: I use Crystal Reports XI

Are you exporting to PDF? Crystal reduces the font size slightly when exporting to PDF. There is a registry setting to counter act this, but I am not sure it will be precise.

Also a font missing in CR usually means the font is missing on your PC. Are you sure this PC has this font?

And what does "writhed" mean?

I solved the font issue, now I have the font ( 'writhed' => misspell from to write)
About the export thing, I export as PDF, but also MS Word is font size slightly different. My solution was trial and error different font sizes until the size was the same. About the registry setting I'm not sure because I cannot access the machine that will use the report (I am designing it, it will run on another box), but it is good to know such a solution.
Thanks,
