I don't think you specify a font for character mode reports. It's ASCII. If you want to specify fonts, you'll have to run it bitmapped.

Euhr..."character mode" = ASCII Print = NO fonts...

Run in Bitmap mode, or change the client's default font....

You do realise what you are asking, right? "I want to open a MS Word DOC file in Notepad with all fonts", that's a Windows equivalent of your question.

No can do.

Sorry, I misread your post. I thought you wanted to change the font of an ASCII file generated by report character mode. And that's not possible. It still isn't. Will never be. And I stand my ground Wink
