Etc., etc. In terms of fonts & stuff, I've seen a fairly straightforward filter written in C which does the following: 1. Looks up printer definition in something like a termcap. 2. Scans through output file or stream and replaces ~.BOLD (etc.) with relevant code for the specific printer. Does this make sense? Your printing fancies are now as printer independent as your "printcap" file. Yes? But it's not much less work than any of the other solutions outlined. Regards, billy.wheeler@digitec.co.za --- .
