Hi,

I am trying to increse the font size on a report layout.

Tried by increasing the font size field to large in the layout fields, but did not work. Can someone help me here with some more info on how to do this?

I am using an IBM pro (genicom printer). This is a delivery label, which prints the address of the customer. Very simple report which has 5 address lines and customer name on it.

Thanks in advance

The font size depends on the printer information file. You have to edit the printer information files also if your fonts are to small. For details look on the online help (i.e. field help, maitain report fields, field Font is a good starting point)

$BSE/lib/printinf is the basic location for the printer information files.

(i.e. $BSE/lib/printinf /h for HP printers)

Here is the file in question. Can you please help me in what should I change.

middle=\E:,
small=\017,

Thanks

You will need the documentation of the printer... . You have to insert the printer commands for the fontsize or for selecting another, larger font. Actually I don't have a IBM Pro-Printer documentation available.

You can also add additional fonts:

pfont1= ... ,
...
pfont10=... ,

The "," at the end of the lines are important.

In my guess, the following Esc Sequences may help you

1. Double Wide Print,Esc W, \EW
2. Double Height Print, Esc [ + @, \E[@
