I tried to print an exerpt of the MetaTalk Reference stack because reading the documentation on the screen is a strain to the eyes and you cannot underline important words or, for that matter, go to the cafetaria with your documentation, but indeed, it dosn't work : it is only the visible part of the card that is being printed. Moreover, all the coded parts of the cards come out as junk fonts. Is this last problem Windows related ?
