Craig,
Turning it off in VFP7.0 is not the same thing as not using it, because if the printer devmode structure distorts the fonts you have assigned to the report, stripping out the printer info later apparently does not fix the font problem. The person creating the reports is a VFP Novice, though an expert in C++ and Delphi, and this just blew him away. It didn't do much for our customers either.
A problem is a problem only as long as it has a possible solution. Lacking that, it becomes a FACT!
