Bold Font vs NOT Bold Font

[tkosel]

I have an Access Application that prints labels for medical devices. I am
printing the Greek Symbol "Capital O with a Slash" (Ø) using Arial Unicode
MS, 14 pt. (Symbol commonly used for diameter.) Not Bold. I have also
set the font weight to Very Light or Thin as an experiment.

Right next to it (In a different control), is the number 10, Using Arial, 14
pt. Bold. Next to that in a different control also is "mm", using Arial 10
pt. NOT bold.

Looks fine in print preview. However, when I print it on any of my 4
printers, the Greek Symbol appears bold! It is at least as bold as the
number 10 next to it. I need to make that symbol lighter!!! Any
hints/ideas?

Try adjusting the color to a dark gray and the adjust accoringly until you
see what you like.
