TppDBRichText Fonts and Margins

rbuser

I'm having two problems:

In report designer I'm setting said componentr font to 'Futura' or anything
but what it is - it doesn't seem to stick. That is everytime I go back in
report designer the font is not what I set it to. Curreently it is 'arial
10"; I can't set it to anything else, I save it go back in and it's the same
'arial 10'. What's up with this?

Margins - I'm setting the MarginLeft = 0.7 inch and the margin comes out to
almost to inches, Units are utInches. Also as above I don't know what's
goin on here.

Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,

Try testing with a trial version of ReportBuilder 7.02 for Delphi 5. Be
sure to backup any templates you load before converting them to the RB 7
format. If this does not help, please send an example demostrating the
problem to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it for you.

By default, the TppRichtext components respect the font information within
the RTF data. Changing this behaviour can be done, but defeats part of the
purpose of RTF. I have worked out a "hack" for a custom RTF component I use
that modifies the DefAttributes before printing the data. I can send it to
you if you wish.

Yes, I would appreciate that.

The document I'm trying to print is just one field (text from sql server
which holds the rtf data). So just a reality check: I have the TppRichEdit
component in the deatil band with the width and height set to 8.5 and 11
matching the standard legal size(8.5 x 11) that I want. Stretch is True,
Left and Top are set to zero and it's portrait.. Is this all correct?

Thanks,
Joe
