See the Table Font dialogue in the software reference manual for details on
changing a font.
When selecting the Draft font you can choose a printer resident font (ones with a
small picture of a printer beside their names in the font list box). These
sometimes print faster and do not have to be represented on the screen.
Note that the font size will have an effect on the size of the table. All the tables
provided by Malvern use a line spacing set by the font in use. If the font size is
increased the table will increase in length and may not fit on the screen or the
printed page. A font size for Font 1 of 10 points or smaller should be used.
If you want to print from the Mastersizer you must have a printer installed. If
Malvern supplies the computer and printer then the printer will be already
installed. If you are supplying your own printer then you must install a Windows
printer driver compatible with your printer.
