Repost: Font Problem printing report

J

jfp

If i have a label (in this case, in the report header, but that probably
does not matter) with font set to "Courier New" (or "Courier New CE",
i did not bother trying the other variations) i get a PCL error when i
try to print although the report preview is fine. If i change the font
to "Courier" everything is fine (although the report preview looks awful
at 50% zoom since plain old Courier is not TrueType). I have tested
this on (2) different PCs, so i doubt that the Windows installation
itself is at fault. Also -- in Word, i can use the Courier New font
without a problem.

Note:
Word offers me only the choices "Courier" and "Courier New".
Access additionally offers "Courier New CE", "Courier New Turkish" and a
few other international flavors. Does this mean that Access is handling
fonts on its own (NOT via the guts of Windows)? Sort of sounds contrary
to the basic concepts of Windows as an "operationg system".

Any Ideas ?
