 How do I tell Crystal to use windows fonts

Hi all,
Using Crystal 6.0. I have designed a report which looks fine
on my screen. But when I print it, I could see a difference in the font
which
is messing up all alignments in my report.
I think this is because Crystal Reports is not using the same font that my
Windows NT (& printer) uses.
Also, the font options available in CRW are different than the
font options available in my Control Panel (of Windows NT).
So, is there a way we could tell Crystal Reports to use windows common
fonts?
or is there a way we could use crystal's fonts in windows?

Thanks in advance

Tejonath,

I don't know much about NT but Crystal doesn't have it's own fonts.
It will use the fonts available to whatever printer you are using when
you design the report.  You are probably running into problems with
the print driver, or you are writing the report for one printer and
running it on another printer, one that handles the font differently.
Crystal is very sensitve to Print Drivers.  Go to their website and
download their documents on Printer Driver Dependency.   They are very
helpful.
