Hi,

Try checking if the default printer on your system is the printer that supports draft font (LX-300). Coz if the printer doesn't support draft fonts it would automaticall convert the font into one of its native type fonts...

yea the default windows printer is indeed the Tally line printer that supports the draft font in question. In design view the Crystal report displays as expected, with the "Tally Data Processing (20cpi)" font as assigned. However, as soon as I display the report in a CrystalReportsViewer control on a .Net Windows forms app, it displays with Arial font. Exports to Word/Excel/PDF also use the Arial font.

Hi,

Hmmm. quite interesting. I've encountered the same problem before, but the error there was that the default windows printer wasn't set to the printer being used by my report. Could you verify this? Check if the printer used in your report in the design view is the same as the default printer set in windows...
