Font size problem with TppMemo

timokervinen · January 2023

Hi!

I found an interesting phenomenon in the TppMemo component. Occasionally, the size of the text varying in the preview and in the pdf, especially with 100% zoom, most often changing the preview zoom to, for example, 120% removes the phenomenon and returning to 100% returns the problem. The test report contains only one TppMemo component and nothing else. All report and component properties have default values.

ReportBuilder Enterprise v21.04 build 181

Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi Timo,

Due to the nature of how ReportBuilder renders to the screen, discrepancies can occur. Try changing your default printer driver and see if that helps the problem.

Playing around with printer drivers is not an option because some of our end users don't have the ability to influence the default printer. The prints look terrible when the font size varies, so do you have any tips on how to get around that error?

Hi Timo,

Are you able to recreate this on your machine? If so, please create a simple example using only RB and Delphi components and send it to support@ in .zip format and I'll research a solution.
