[killuasoft]

hi to all,

please help me about my question.i am using vb.net 2005 and i want to print to a dot matrix printer "EPSON LX-1050" with a font of "Draft 10cpi". my problem is that i can't see the font "Draft 10cpi" from the font list. i try to print this line to the printer.

...
printFont = New Font("Draft 12cpi", 10)
Dim pd As New PrintDocument()
AddHandler pd.PrintPage, AddressOf Me.pd_PrintPage
pd.Print()

my problem is that i can't see the font "Draft 10cpi" from the font list

Then you have to install it first.

i already have added the printer and the draft 10cpi font is then added automatically upon installing the printer right?

if i open ms excel i can see the draft 10cpi font there.

Perhaps it's not a TrueType font?

Windows Forms applications support TrueType fonts and have limited support for OpenType fonts. If you attempt to use a font that is not supported, or the font is not installed on the machine that is running the application, the Microsoft Sans Serif font will be substituted.
