This article was previously published under Q100998 SYMPTOMS
Issuing a ? print command with a FONT clause sometimes prints the text
double spaced.
CAUSE
The screen font or print font is smaller than the font used by the question
mark command.
RESOLUTION
Make sure the screen font or the print font is the same as the font used in
the question mark command. You can change the print font by issuing the SET
PRINT FONT command. Actually if you set the screen or printer font ahead of
time, there is no need to use the font clause on the question mark command
unless you wish to change fonts briefly.
In FoxPro for Windows 2.6 the screen font can be changed by issuing the
following command:
MODIFY WINDOW SCREEN FONT "ARIAL", 10
In Visual FoxPro the screen font can be changed by issuing the following
command:
_SCREEN.FONTNAME="ARIAL"
_SCREEN.FONTSIZE=10
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FoxPro 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, and
2.6 for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
