I am trying to design a report with the printer setup as a laser printer. Most of my users will use a laser printer. But some would like to print the same report on a dot-matrix pritner on multipart forms.

Is there a font that I can use in designing the report that will print the same on both printers and that is somewhat universal to most printer drivers?

Any suggestions?
Thanks
 
I stick with Times New Roman or Arial, integer point sizes, with bold, italics, and regular as flavors. Those two fonts are about as common as you can get. You will still get slight differences in display and printing because of different screen resolutions, and different printer drivers, but c'est la vie.
