I'm using this from your code:

TCustomMainPtblRVData(FHelper.RichView.RVData).PrnSaD.ppixDevice>TCustomMain

PtblRVData(FHelper.RichView.RVData).PrnSaD.ppiyDevice then

lPrinter.Canvas.Font.PixelsPerInch :=

TCustomMainPtblRVData(FHelper.RichView.RVData).PrnSaD.ppiyDevice

else

lPrinter.Canvas.Font.PixelsPerInch :=

TCustomMainPtblRVData(FHelper.RichView.RVData).PrnSaD.ppixDevice;

The ppi always seems to be 96 and aribitrarily changing it (*20, /2, etc)

does'nt make any difference, which is is indicative of the problem, I

suppose.

I did a similar posting to ReportBuilder support and they've requested my

wrapper to check out.

It will be in all our interests to get this working.
