Re: vDosxy3 -- changing default font?

Carl,

I'm using Xy3, with the epsonlq.prn driver.  I did try another version or two of the Epson drivers (FX, 85), but lq was the only one which got the page lengths correct out of the gate  

The fonts didn't change, though it's worth looking at again.  I also tried the 3generic.prn driver, earlier.  No luck there either.

A really odd thing on my XP machine (unlike the Win7 Pro system) is that, no matter what the /F command may say, vDosxy produces the same Courier font, but I can't for the life of me identify it.  It doesn't closely resemble any installed font.  All I can think of is, Adobe Acrobat is somehow supplying it.

John,

How disappointing. Perhaps Kari, Edward, or another can help you
iron this out.

But let me ask this: Are you using Xy3 or 4? If Xy4, which Epson
driver are you loading? I started out my testing with EPLQ1010.PRN
and was seeing some odd results with monospaced fonts (wide spaces
between some letters) and with monospaced and proportional fonts
(italics not working). Both these issues went away when I switched
to EPLQ2550.PRN. Even in Xy3 you might benefit by experimenting with
different Epson drivers.
