Re: Recent printing problems (vb6)



It sounds to me like maybe you're dealing with two different versions of
Arial, and Windows is just not interpreting it correctly. I'm not sure if
you *can* (Arial.ttf might be a protected file), but try translplanting the
fonts from the development computer to the computers you're running on...or
the other way around...probably best to take XP's version of Arial and
install it on the development computer.

That might not be the problem at all, but it's worth a shot.
