The Text Printing Tab on the Options Dialog

This panel allows you to select how you want text pages to print.  As explained on the printing page, printing is currently supported only for text files because the current printing facilities do not work for lightweight (i.e., swing) components.

• The first four lines allow you to set margins.  Enter numbers in inches.
• The next line allows you to select from the fonts supported by AWT.  Note that
  • The deprecated font 'Courier' has been replaced with 'Monospaced' (i.e., use 'Monospaced' when you really want 'Courier').
  • The deprecated font 'Helvetica' has been replaced with 'SansSerif'.
  • The deprecated font 'TimesRoman' has been replaced with 'Serif'.
• Select on the next line whether you want bold and/or italic.
• Select on the final line the font size in points.

Note that the text files will display on the screen just according to your printing specifications, but because the options dialog is modal, you will not see the changes on the currently open pages until you exit the dialog.
