>We have a VFP app that is running on Windows 2012 R2 - and when you run a report, the fonts look all jacked up - not clear and some spacing problems. If you look at the report in the report designer on same machine - it looks fine.
>I was told they did not have this problem when it was running on Windows 2003 server.

>From what I've been told they have tried the SET REPORTBEHAVIOR 80 , have removed all the printer info from the frx files, and supposedly they reinstalled all the fonts. They're tried a bunch of different fonts including the "Courier New" ones.

>Anyone have any idea what the problem here is? I don't think it's the fonts because it looks ok in the report designer, and they have the latest runtime lib #7423 - so I'm kinda at a loss here as to what is causing this.

What printer is configured as the default printer at the time you display the preview? The on-screen preview (what you get when you use the PREVIEW clause with the REPORT command) shows you what you're apt to get if you were to print on the currently-selected printer. If there is no printer installed, or if the selected printer is a text-only printer, then the preview will usually look rather weird (since the text-only printer would generally only print in one size and in monospace) -- unless you've designed the report to work on a text-only printer in mind. Gets really fun if the current printer is a special type of printer such as a label printer -- then your pages are restricted to the size of the labels.
