RE: Can't display any graphics but .wmf

[Jim Stauffer <jstauffer@xxxxxxx>]

Out of curiosity, what format are the problem graphics?

The PC's default printer affects the font and graphic display in FM. What
driver does your default printer have? If it's a PCL driver you can
experience all kinds of problems. If you suspect this might be the cause,
download Adobe's PostScript driver and install it as a new printer instance,
then make it your default printer and see if that fixes the problem. It
doesn't have to be connected to an actual printer for this experiment.

I use EPS and EMF graphic formats primarily, and an occasional BMP, and
never have graphic (or font) problems in Win98 or Win2K.
