I appreciate your feedback on this. I tried setting it to format for printing, closing it, purging from memory, then printing.
I created the stack to make an image of the field, and put the image right underneath the field - so when it prints, I can compare the width of the two fonts very carefully. Unfortunately, there is still a difference between the two. It is a small difference, but it is there. I am not too worried about it for this project, because, for my purposes, I can just use either the Modern or Garamond fonts, for which the printer fonts are quite close, but a teeny bit smaller, so it wont get clipped at the edges of fields. For a future project I have in mind, I would really like to be able to have a document that one just works on, with whatever fonts are desired, and it comes out exactly as you see. Having to work on the layout in one mode, then switch to another to see what the layout will look like, is just too clunky for a practical work flow, when dealing with many documents. Then again, if I have no choice, then I have no choice - we'll see. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jerry Daniels Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2005 6:23 PM To: How to use Revolution Subject: Re: More on Windows printing... Jonathan, This comment may account for the anomalous behavior you encountered (again, from Rev Docs): Important! Fonts inherited from another stack are not updated when you set the formatForPrinting of a stack. If the stack will be printed, make sure that either the stack's textFont property is set to a font name (not set to empty), or all fields to be printed have their own font rather than inheriting it. If the stack's formatForPrinting property is true, the setting of the windowBoundingRect property is ignored when the stack is opened or maximized.
