Fonts are selected on the General tab of a Report Definition Screen by
clicking on the Layout button. Then select the Fonts tab.

If this doesn't solve the problem, you may need to go to the website of
your printer manufacturer and see if your printer driver is up to date.

Be sure to check that you have less than 255 fonts installed on your
system. If so, just move some of the unused fonts to another directory and
then try the reports.

You need to enter "[:CR:]" (no quotes) for this to work. If you aren't
sure that you are entering the code correctly, click on the Codes menu at
the top of the screen and select the Carriage Return option.

Hope this helps -
