I'm not able to print forms using different types of fonts.

I can change the fonts using "escape" control codes, but
not using de FONT option with the DISPLAY command.

Can anybody help me ?

That's no that easy....

Hi there...

I was checking the forums and found your question. I was seeking the same answers time ago, as you are, (thanks Lord, there is F4GL's ProgressTalk).
There is too few clues on your question, so i think i'll say little on _WHAT I THINK YOU ASK_ if this is not correct, then i'm affraid you would need to ask with more words... ;)
You can't simply change the font of a output instruction if it goes to the printer, as the handling of formating is left to the win print processor, unless you say different with the -Wa -wpp parameters....
If you want to format the output some especial way, you would need another solution, there are lots of them!.
Depending on your _exact_ needs, the solution can range from high end (read: $$) solutions, like Actuate, to simply and efficients like xPrint by http://www.4gl.fr or the low level, but _do exactly what you want_, solutions by Jurgen Dikstra at http://www.global-shared.com.
On the last two examples, the bad news, are that you would need to code two reports, if you want have the same text for window and report.
i guess you can go deep in what you need.
