Terminal Font Not Displaying/Printing Correctly

edited October 2003 in General
Hello All:

We use ReportBuilder 6.02 With Delphi 5. We are trying to print the
contents of a memo.

The memo is in "Terminal" font size 11. We can get the contents into a
ppMemo control fine, however, the spacing is a little off.

In the memo, the information is displayed as a fixed width size
character.

However, when we print it using ReportBuilder, the Terminal font
characters are variable widths, so the report format is thrown off. We have
tried playing with default pitch - that doesnt help. The report contains no
Tabs or other formatting characters.

The only solution so far is to change the font to Courier New. Courier
New allows the ppMemo to display its contents correctly. If we have to, we
can live with this. However, we would like to use Terminal font if possible.

Is there anything we can do to make the Terminal font space itself as a
Fixed Width character in the ppMemo ???

Why does terminal font display as a fixed width character in a memo
control, but not in a ppMemo control ???

Thank you.
