Hello there. I am trying to fix an old program that was written in
Borland Pascal 7. Here is a short description of my problem. We are printing
out reports with Windows fonts etc. to a Device Context. In this report, there
are some lines that have to be formatted into two columns (they are only one
string though). The only problem is, the fonts aren't truetype, so the spaces
between them in the ASCII string aren't lining up. Here is kind of what they
look like on paper:
1. United States 2. Iraq
3. India 3. Egypt
4. Canada 4. Russia
Like that. The columns aren't lined up. I can't figure out how to get them to
line up. I'm using "TabbedTextOut" to print these out. I've tried adding ASCII
tabs in the string (#7 in Pascal) but they just get printed out as boxes on
the paper. "TabbedTextOut" mentions it can be called more than once to print
to the same line. I've tried separating the ASCII string into two separate
strings, and printing them both out separately, but only the first one gets
printed out. Can anybody offer any suggestions? I'd appreciate it. If
possible, please respond via email to cgsobotk@students.wisc.edu. Thanks much!
