>Hi,

>I have a FP2.6/DOS app that I'm porting to VFP5. In the DOS version, I use the graphics chars (vertical/horizontal single/double lines, corners, etc) to form borders around columns in a report. Under Win, of course, these characters map to accented letters. How can I, using @say's, accomplish the same thing under VFP? Any help muchly appreciated.

It should work if you do a SET PRINTER FONT TO "FoxFont", but that doesn't really give a nice result. Normally, there should be a better font in your font list too, which includes the special characters.

If you define a "Generic (Text)" printer driver for printing, the internal printer font will be used and everything should be allright.

You can SET the font of the VFP screen to "FoxFont" or "Foxpro Windows Font" too, to show the lines and corners on the screen.
