>>I was curious if there are screen fonts that represent Dot-Matrix Printer fonts correctly in the preview window of a report for a WYSIWYG experience.

>No, there aren't. Those come from a pre WYSIWYG area. While Windows can still uses these fonts and access printers in a line printer fashion, it's not the default behavior and typically only used in applications with special needs. Often, being able to get a quick result without a preview is one of the needs. These fonts would be printer specific. Since there are many commands to alter the appearance of a font (condensed, extended, extend condensed) that are not covered by Windows default font modifiers, you would need various fonts and a way to switch between them.

okay thanks Christof.
