Did you try to use them unconverted? Without trying to open them in the report designer. VFP runs them just the same, and it will probably use Courier fonr or FoxFont. There seems to be some way of setting a font globally for printing DOS reports, for compatibility with FPW or something - ah, here it is:

[quote from help]
SET PRINTER FONT

FONT cFontName [, cFontSize] Specifies a default font for printer output. cFontName specifies the name of the font, and cFontSize specifies the point size. For example, the following command specifies 16-point Courier font as the default printer font:

SET PRINTER FONT 'Courier', 16

If the font you specify is not available, a font with similar font characteristics is substituted.
