George and Fred,

It looks like I will have to use a TT font since I can't seem to find anything else at the moment. I still don't have a firm handle of what these "Text Only"
printers like Bryce, Rena, Pitney Bowes, etc. need or can do.

I looked at both Courier New and FoxPrint. I was under the impression that for a font to be Fixed Width the FONTMETRIC() 6 and 7 (average width and
max width) had to be the same. I get readings of 7 and 8 from both of them. Maybe this is just a new VFP 6 quirk. 7and 8 are problably close enough.

Thanks for the feed back. You can tell that I'm out of water here with fonts and printers and it is finally getting to the point of frustration trying to solve what I
though was going to be a simple problem.
