Strange, I went back and tested under 3.0b, 5.0a and 6.0 using only the SET PRINTER FONT command and it worked fine regardless of the _screen properties. I even tested using fonts that didn't exist (SET PRINTER FONT "MOO", 36) and it still printed large text, but used the Ariel font. What type of printer are you using? I'm testing on an HP LaserJet.

>>>Am I able to execute "type thisfile.txt to prin" and have the contents of thisfile.txt come out with the font of my choice? I inserted
>>>"SET PRINTER FONT 'Courier', 16" before and no difference.
