You do this by selecting appropriate fonts when outputting. For editable text, you will want to use the Rich edit control. For captions, you'll need CStatics with font-setting capabilities. For both types of controls, you'll find a multitude of articles on this site.

Here you will find how I finally solved the problem. I thank Jonathan for his kind suggestion not to rely on the m_rectDraw in the CInfo structure. But even this does not solve the problem but it helps to have more consistent printwork between different printers. I found a go around the problem by splitting the document in a view with, in my case, three sections as to keep the total number of pages under 8 pages for wich the standard MFC print functions work fine.

So far I did'nt receive any reaction on my question. Are you all developing applications with low number of strings in the string table or are you not using the string table at all? I try to explain my problem on another way. What could be the reason when a string or parts from a string from the string table appears unwanted in a message box in stead of a system string, or on a static control or in a button caption as in the print preview ?
