Question    
When printing plain text files like for example output files from self-written SQL queries, the font size on the printout is different on each PC. On some PCs is very large, on other PCs it is very small.  How can I control the fontsize when printing plain text files?

Answer    
1. The font type and font size for printing plain text files is configured in \Alephcom\tab\Alephcom.ini, section [PlainTextPrintout], lines FontLnnand FontUnn:

[PlainTextPrintout]
CharsetL=iso-8859-1
CharsetU=utf-8
FontL01=16Courier New
FontL02=18Courier New
FontL03=20Courier New
FontL04=22Courier New
FontL05=24Courier New
FontU01=16Courier New
FontU02=18Courier New
FontU03=20Courier New
FontU04=22Courier New
FontU05=24Courier New

2. The FontL01 line is used as the default.
The file may also have a header which points to a different line, for example:

## - PLAIN,L04 

3. The font size must always be two-digits, so it must say FontL01=08Courier New and not FontL01=8Courier New.
