Different Font
Thu, 8 Nov 2007 11:50:52 -0800
I want to use a different font (arizona) for one field only on a report (and 
also on a form). This works fine on my computer where dbase is installed but 
does not work on customer's computer where only the runtime is installed. If 
I modify the ini file I change all the fonts. Is there a way around this?
Thanks

Does the font exist on the customer's computer?

This may seem a basic question, but ... not all fonts are installed on 
all computers. For example, the one you mention "Arizona" is not on 
either of my two computers ...

Thank you. That was the problem.I install the font and it worked. I also 
found that all arizona fonts are not equal. i could not find on the internet 
one as good as what I have. I am not sure where I got it.
Thanks for the help

That's what we do here, is help each other out. Glad my advice did the 
trick!
