Hi There,
Im a new member in this forum and this is my first post.
Actually I'm writing to ask if anybody can help me in this following issue:
My report is printing the character "L" in a very strange way like when appending it to another "LL" it shows the 2 characters attached to each other that makes it difficult to read the word.
Below is the list of all the printers I'm using:
1- OLIVETTI D-Copia 500
2- OLIVETTI D-Copia 15K
3- OLIVETTI D- Copia 35K
4- HP LaserJet 1200/1300

Did you try to download and install the latest printer drivers?

Do you use Acrobat Reader to view and print report output? If so, which version do you use? Is there a more recent one available?

What happens if you change font from Arial to Tahoma (those look alike)?

Hi littlefoot
I've the latest printer drivers installed and no im not using Acrobat Reader to view and print report output.
The strange thing is that at preview the output seems ok but when printing it's displayed wrong.
Do u think the language environment variable NLS_LANG has to do with it.
N.B:I'm tring to avoid changing my Font type.

Well, I've seen strange L's in older Acrobat Reader versions. But, as you don't use it, obviously it is not the issue.

I'm not suggesting you to change ALL reports and ALL fonts right now, just this report and this column for testing purposes. I'd really like to know whether this helps or not.

NLS? No idea. I wouldn't know how to set NLS in order to double L's /forum/fa/1600/0/
