Font Problem with Epson POS Printer

[chrs]

Hello

Wanted: smart brain for (not only) my problem: need to print from fm9 to Epson pos printer e.g. tmh-88 in windows xp.

I know how to handle the situation < fm6: the fonts are available as soon as one choose the printer in printer setup.

But fm 7-9 might not support printer driver fonts, so they will NOT show up in layout mode to attach to fields. Latest driver supports font substitution. For some printers this works, even printing is slower. Font substitution does not work for tmh-5000II for example...(you cann configure it, but no supstitution)

I desperately need a solution!!! Who has inputs/experiances in this case? Please... and thanks, Chr!s
