Hi,
I'm using the SWT print API in my RCP application but I'm having some problems.
The prints that I do are very simple, I just print lines of text and I'm setting Courier type to the font so the characters will have the same width.
Basically what I'm doing is this:
  Printer printer = new Printer(printerData);
    if(printer.startJob("Test")) {
	GC gc = new GC(printer);
		if(printer.startPage()) {	        	
		       	gc.setFont(new Font(gc.getDevice(), "Courier",7,SWT.NORMAL));
		        int height = gc.getFontMetrics().getHeight();
			gc.drawString("Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text.", 200, 200);
                        gc.drawString("Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text.", 200, 200);
.....

Everything works fine but with some printers the font is ignored, and I can not give the print a format.
I'm using the latest eclipse version 4.3 - keppler to create the application.

Can you help me with this, should I report this as a bug?
Do you have any ideas that could help me to solve this?

Thanks in advance.
