DeviceFontName Property

Classic report layouts

Use this property for reports that are specifically designed for dot matrix printers to prevent the printer from switching into graphics mode when printing text. Specify the name of a device font (a font that is built into a printer). Use the AssistButton to select a device font from the list of device fonts supported by a particular printer.

If the printer that is used for this report does not support the specified DeviceFontName or if DeviceFontName is set as Undefined, Helvetica is used.

A device font specified in the page setup dialog overrides the value of DeviceFontName.
