Previewing reports in Foxpro 2.6a on win NT or win 2000

[trlovejoy]

When i preview reports on an NT or 2000 box, the report font is virtually unreadable. I usually run 800 x 600, but if I jack it way up, it is much more readable. But I dob't want to have to run more than a 800 x 600 desktop. Any ideas?

Not all fonts are interchangeable between Win9x and WinNT. Try "Moving" the report files to a floppy disk and then recreate the reports on a NT or Win2K computer and see what you get.

Ted, you mean they are virtually unreadable even after zooming in, right?

dgrewe, I will try that.
foxdev, yes, after zoom in, you get a nice close view of how unreadable it is!

One other thing--at 800x600 it's pretty unreadable.
At 1024x768, it's not too bad.
Of course, I still have a lot of people at 640x480!

What font is used for the report? Is it possible that it is a font that is not installed on the NT box, and Windows is approximating it with a different font? Is the font(s) being used TrueType(R) fonts?

When I preview reports on a FoxPro Win 2.6 application
( an xxx.EXE file)
the report never appears and the screen get freezed/hang.
(so I need to shut down the computer)

However, if I run the same application from inside
FoxPro windows 2.6 (from the command window do xxx.exe)
the preview work perfect.

HELP please!!! I'm geting crazy with this problem.

gvivenci,

You should start a new thread for a new problem, but:

I have frequently had reports that hang or crash for no apparent reason. Typically, I start again with a blank report, and copy all the report elements across. Then it usually works. That's computers for you.
