FIX: Printer Fonts Won't Stay Selected in VFP Report Designer

• Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0a

SYMPTOMS

When changing the font for a report expression in the Report Designer, any of the fonts that show up in the Font properties box that have a printer icon in front of them do not stay selected after closing the font box.

These so-called "printer fonts" stay selected while the Font properties box is open. Once the Font properties box is closed, they are deselected and the report expression does not print in that chosen font. Reopening the Font properties box shows that there is no font currently selected. If any other font is selected, it stays selected when the font box is reopened.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This has been corrected in Visual FoxPro version 6.0.
