Hi,

I'm trying to print to my laser printer using a Win95
true type font which doesn't work.

I'm *really* stuck here, after reading TFM and online
help a couple of times, so I'd appreachiate any help from a real Pro.

The task seems to be simple enough:
- To print "hello world" using the Arial true type font face
  onto a HP LaserJet 6 or HP LaserJet 4.

Here's what I tried (using Visual Basic 4 Professional 32bit):

  printer.font.name = "Arial"
  printer.font.size = 20
  printer.print "hello world"
  printer.EndDoc

This produces a piece of paper with hello world on it,
but the LaserJet 4 is not effected by either font size
nor font face. The LaserJet 6 reacts to the font size
command, but prints everything in "Times".

If I use the above code to print into a form,
the chosen font is used.

Any hints, please :)

I think there may be a bug in the printer driver. Try printing a full stop (period) and THEN changing fonts.
