I suggest you download and read the VFP 9 Release Notes. The reporting docs explain this.

>I installed VFP9 and found out that the problem with our special characters thru the Central Europe alphabet disappeared. Option, Tools-Options-Report->Default font->Alphabet is ENABLED in VFP9 but not in VFP8, why ? Some of printers have to set the option USE FONT SCRIP enabled, to print Central Europe characters. If I open the frx file, field named RESOID get the value 238 when I changed the alphabet and when I replaced field with this value in VFP8 report, everthing is the same. Is RESOID field in VPF8 used or not ??.
