G'day

I've pretty much finished a set of stacks for a painter & decorator friend, and the pages print ok on my Epson inkjet printer and Fuji Xerox laser, but when I tried the stack on my friends new all-in-one Brother commercial inkjet, the large header font only printed very small (about 16 point), but the letters were spread out as though the font was at correct size (51 point).

I'm using the basic fit-to-page print command, and using the default printer.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the print the correct size please?

It's OK. I had reverted everything back to the LC default font, and it simply refuses to print larger sizes. I've swapped to Time New Roman, to make it compatible with windows, and now it's fine.

Sometimes on Windows it can help to set the stack's formatForPrinting property, to better ensure that the printer font metrics are used instead of screen metrics. See the dictionary entry for that property for details.

Sometimes this type of problems also comes in my Epson inkjet printer also, but when I reinstall all the software again then the large header font problem is automatically solved all the fonts comes in correct size. I think you should use window compatible fonts like Aerial and Times new roman with brother printer then see the results. I am sure it works well and solve your purpose.
