printing in alternate fonts

[awf56]

I have to create a report to print from Progress in Times New Roman. Not a problem-- I can do this with control codes.

BUT-- some of the data is numbers, which have to print in nice, even, right-aligned columns. I am having trouble with this.

Any suggestions or code samples would be very helpful.

Hi,
If you are programming your reports using 4GL you cannot use different fonts in the same report. As Times New Roman is a proportional font you will not be able to align the columns.
I suggest that you use another method of printing.
The easiest step is to use xPrint (see

http://www.4gl.fr).

Otherwise Report Builder (it's free but very limited) or Crystal Reports or ... there are hundreds of reporting solutions, take your pick.
Cheers,
