I don't know about you but creating a Raster Macro for a graphic takes forever. You effectively have to recreate the bitmap pixel by pixel. Or have I missed something. On another note since we are talking about laser stuff. I have written a program in QUIZ to print out deposit slips. It writes to a serially connected, spooled, stock 5si from the 3000. I don't like the courier font however it is the only fixed width font the will allow the decimals to line up. Is there a way that I can either; 1) easily create a font that has a space and comma characters that is the same width as all the numbers. 2) a way to dynamically in quiz replace each space (in a number pictured field) with 2 spaces since for Arial the space character is half the width of each of the number characters. I speak PCL, PJL or HPGL but the above is greek to me......
