Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

I'm trying to improve the "designer experience" when designing dot-matrix reports.

Is there a way to set the default font when creating a new empty report? And is there a way to disable the font-selection, so that only a single font in a specific size can be used (which is carefully chosen to match the Zoom-X/Y and paged width settings).

And another question: Is there a way to use a custom previewer from within the designer? (I've built my own one which creates a preview with all Epson-ESC-Codes translated
to the apropriate fonts and sizes)

Unfortunately, there is no such feature in our product. But you can change all font settings in the code before rendering.

There is a Dot-Matrix Viewer in our product. You could read about it in the '7.2 Dot-Matrix Viewer for WinForms' of the Stimulsoft Reports Programmers Manual.

Thank you.
