I'm running Borland's Objectvision 2.1 with Windows 3.1. I'm having
trouble getting my printer (DESKJET 500) to print what's on my screen.
Here's an ASCII sample of my graphical problem.

Visualize the 'graphical' border as being the same size in each example
but the text shrunk. Actually, the graphical border stays in proportion
(as far as I can tell) but the text shrinks (relative to the outline).
The text shrinks throughout my form but it's easier to illustrate with
the attached graphical border.
The font I'm currently using is Courier 10 (I've also tried CG Times).
I'm using HP's new Deskjet Driver's for Windows 3.1 (I forget the
version of the Driver). I've tried the TrueType fonts without success
as well as the standard font sets for the Deskjet. I've explained the
problem to HP, Microsoft and Borland and naturally they say it's someone
elses problem.
1) Anyone seen this specific problem?
2) Anyone seen this problem in other Windows applications?
3) Any ideas how to correct this? Is it something simple?
