My IDE is .Net 2008 using C#. I need to send a string to a printer in a non proportionally spaced font. As an example lets say the string = "Hello World" and the printer is "Printer1"

I followed the advice of this stackoverflow post: Sending String Directly to printer

When I set the font to "Times New Roman" or "Comic Sans MS", it works. But when I use Courier, I get a nonproportionally spaced font.

I am using the exact coding as the post that I have cited. Why won't Courier give me the non proportionally spaced font I need? Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you in advance, Harvey Nusbaum

    Please learn writing text. "But when I use Courier, I get a nonproportionally spaced font." is not the same as "C# Sending String To Printer Not Working With Courier". – TomTom Jul 05 '12 at 13:42

Courier is a monospace font. All of its characters have the same width.

    ;) Funny how some people do not even look at the fonts they sent - it is easy to see in any font management that Courier is not proportional. In fact it is good so - it is a font made for Shells / CmdLine interface, not for printing "normal text". – TomTom Jul 05 '12 at 13:43
