Hi Andrew:

I tried that without much success, though I now realize what I was doing wrong.

At the same time, "Generic/Text Only" seems to offer a different approach.

When I tell Word to print to the "Generic/Text Only" printer, there are only 3 fonts available: "Device Font" for 10, 12 and 17 cpi. I need 2 of those. I'm hoping Chris knows what those map to in Adagio.

Ideally I want to try both approaches on-site to see what works best.

Thank you.

Hi Bruce,
When using the 'Generic/Text Only' printer it will not matter what font you choose in the designer as it will use the printer default font and font size.
I have never attempt to change the font size when using that driver.
You might try using 'Courier' and selecting a range of font sizes to test with the printer.
The only other though would be to have a label before/after where you want the font change that has the escape sequences to change the font size. Not sure that would work as I have never attempted it.
If you want multiple font sizes you might have to use the correct windows printer driver.
