2115.0. "? about UseDisplayFont" by AIMTEC::GIANNETTI_D () Tue Apr 08 1997 18:16

TeamLinks 2.7-001
TeamLinks Mail for Windows

1. Open Create Message Window

2. Customer desires to print before sending message

3. File/Print Options

4. From the Print Option menu you have the ability to select
   "Print with Display Font" or "Print with Other Font"

5. Click on help for further clarification.

6. Help tells me that this option applies only to text that
   TeamLinks prints; it does not apply to embedded PostScript
   objects, PostScript attachments, or attachments printed
   by viewers or applications.

   Choose Print with Display Font to print objects using the
   font in which they are displayed on the screen.

   Choose Print with Other Font to select a different font for
   printing than the one in which the object is displayed on
   the screen.  When you choose this option, the Font button

Question???

1.  The help indicates that the "UseDisplayFont" field will
    use whatever the display font is.  In the 2.5 CUSTOM.WRI
    it indicates that "UseDisplayFont" will use whatever the
    ReadMessageFont is set to.  Which scenario is correct?

2.  The old CUSTOM.WRI indicates that 0 and 1 are the valid
    values to the UseDisplayFont field.  0 means use the
    font specified in the Print Options dialog box and that
    1 means use the font specified for the Read Message Window.
    My customer's OFFICE.INI had UseDisplayFont value of -1.
    Is -1 a valid setting?  If so what does it mean? If not
    how would she have acquired a -1?

3.  The help indicates that the "Font" button may be inactive
    at some point and time (which I assume means greyed out) and
    we cannot put it into an inactive state.  Does the help need
    help or do we need help?

Thanks,

Debbie Giannetti

2115.1	Some info	TAMARA::CUMMINGS	Jerry Cummings, TeamLinks	`Wed Apr 09 1997 10:47`	18
	Come on Debbie! We expect more excitement from ALF. If someone calls the CSC they should be complaining that their printer keeps bursting into flames whenever they print an encrypted ZIP file that's an attachment to an unread BCC message that was forwarded through a wormhole. But if the customer is really that bored: 1. UseDisplayFont help is more correct than CUSTOM.WRI. If printing from the Create Message window, we'll use that font. Otherwise we use the Read Message font (only for TEXT). 2. -1 is OK, it's equivalent to a Visual Basic TRUE. 1 is OK too. We're flexible that way. Infoman probably wrote out the -1 when dumping out current values. 3. I'll have to look in the code to see why the Font button would be inactive. Jerry
2115.2	Jerry your such a kidder	AIMTEC::GIANNETTI_D		`Wed Apr 09 1997 11:55`	26
	Jerry, I'm so very glad I can provide such entertainment for you (ha ha). I don't pick the issues - they do. Anyway... in light of your reply I must tell you that the customer has in their OFFICE.INI it is still set to -1 and in her Create Message Window she has Text as the editor style, and the font is WP Greek Courier with a 10 point size. She chooses Print Options, and the selection to "Use Display Font" is checked and in the window low and behold it says "Arial Plain 10 point" and it indeed prints with the Arial font. Ok Jerry whats a girl to do? She (meaning the customer) took it upon herself to check one of her 2.5-3 systems and it has UseDisplayFont set to 0. It appears that when 2.7 is installed it is changing this baby. I was able to reproduce the customer's symptoms. I tested here in eft1 3.0 and it seems to work just fine so whatever you did in 3.0 lets put in a patch and move on to bigger, more explosive things. Thanks, Debbie

	Is WP Greek Courier a font that's available for the printer? If the user clicks on the Font button in the Print Options dialog box, is WP Greek Courier listed? Jerry
2115.4	Step by Step	AIMTEC::GIANNETTI_D		`Tue Apr 15 1997 12:00`	35
	Jerry, Good morning. I tested this on my 2.7 system at home. 1. TeamLinks Information Manager 2. Create Message 3. Text format style 4. WP Greek Courier 10 as font and point size 5. Go to Print Options and on the screen you see... Print Options * Print with Display font (selected) Courier New, Plain, 10 FONT (if you select font you do in fact see WP Greek Courier) 5. Perform Steps above this time save the message before "Print Options" - same results 6. Perform steps above with Rich Text as format - same behavior This is clearly a problem in 2.7 and 2.7-1 but it works just fine in 3.0 eft1. Could we please have the fix in 3.0 eft in eco2? Eco3? Let me know. Debbie Giannetti

	A very quick look didn't show a fix in this area, but it would take more time to really find it. If you can IPMT this, it would happen for ECO3, not ECO2. ECO2 is complete and in the final phases of delivery now. I'll poke around a little bit more. Jerry

	This issue is now being worked as IPMT cfs.50660.
