 Using Resident Font


Instead of printing graphics, how can I get TPrinter to use the default resident font in the printer?   

    Use the Windows API function GetStockObject() to retrieve the device default font handle, and assign it to Printer.Font.Handle. Example:

    uses Printers;
    procedure TForm .Button Click(Sender: TObject);
    var
      tm : TTextMetric;
      i : integer;
    begin
      if PrintDialog .Execute then begin
        Printer.BeginDoc;
        Printer.Canvas.Font.Handle := GetStockObject(DEVICE_DEFAULT_FONT);
        GetTextMetrics(Printer.Canvas.Handle, tm);
        for i :=   to  0 do begin
          Printer.Canvas.TextOut( 00,
                                 i * tm.tmHeight +
                                 tm.tmExternalLeading,
                                 'Test');
        end;
        Printer.EndDoc;
      end;
    end;
