Is there a way to instruct Set_Printer("FONT" ...) to use a printer's internal font? (HP Printer).
Thanks!

HP used to supply Windows fonts for these with the LaserJet 4 series. Other than finding a copy of those I can't think of a simple solution. Maybe passing the escape codes to a generic text printer driver.

We must be missing something here - doesn't the FONTS get_printer call include the internal fonts installed on the Printer?

Actually, Get_Printer('FONT') only returns the current font set by a previous Set_Printer('FONT') command, or the default font if none has been set.
I would think the escape codes would be the way to go, but I have only done that via ARev - never tried it through OI.

The best way to send ESC codes in OI is to use the [url=http://www.pacifier.com/~splaver/print.html]Direct Print[/url] utility from Splaver Software.

You're right about FONT but the [b][i]FONTS[/b][/i] message is documented as returning a field mark delimited list of fonts. Interestingly it is returning a "-9" - invalid message here so it would seem to have been accidentally deprecated.

Did not know about the 'FONTS' command, since it does not appear to be in any of the documentation. It also returned a -9 for me when I was testing it (7.1).

Weird - for me tying in FONTS in the editor and pressing F1 gets me

I think you need to do a set_printer first.
