Printing in non-proportional font

[yaronkl]

Hello,

I am trying to print to the laser printer in non-proportional font. i.e., if i print a line of ZZZZZ and below it a line of ....., they should have the same widht.

i've tried different fonts (Courier, FixedSys) and different sizes, but it always seems to print them proportional, i.e. Z is wider than I .

Can anyone advise please ? I am using the following code:

int CPrinterLaser::ChangeFontStyle(WWP_PRN_INFO *lpInfo,LPCSTR lpFontName, int iStyle, int iWidthFactor, int iHeightFactor)
{
LOGFONT lf;
HGDIOBJ hGDI;
HFONT hFont;

hGDI = GetCurrentObject(m_hDC, OBJ_FONT);
if ( !hGDI )
return wwprnFailedGdiHandle;

if ( !GetObject(hGDI, sizeof(lf), &lf) )
return wwprnFailedFontData;

if (lpFontName)
{
strcpy(lf.lfFaceName,lpFontName);
hFont = CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
SelectObject(m_hDC, hFont);

hGDI = GetCurrentObject(m_hDC, OBJ_FONT);
if ( !GetObject(hGDI, sizeof(lf), &lf) )
return wwprnFailedFontData;
}

if (iWidthFactor > -1) lf.lfWidth = iWidthFactor;
if (iHeightFactor > -1) lf.lfHeight = iHeightFactor;
if (iStyle > -1 ) lf.lfWeight = iStyle;

hFont = CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
SelectObject(m_hDC, hFont);


//pCurFont = GetCurrentFont(m_hDC);

return wwprnOk;
}

If you want non-proportional print, you must use non-proportional font

Good luck
