Re: C language

What do you mean, change the font size in the command prompt, or in the text file you're piping it to?

Oh I don't know about that. I would probably pipe it to a *.html file instead.

It allows you to easily change the font, and it's size amongst other things.


For example write this to a html file, which is essentially just saving it with the .html extension...

<html>
<font size="6">hello</font>
</html>

Ok then, well how about you just open notepad, which I assume is the text editor you are using and change the font size to something smaller.

Then your program should, by default write to your files using the font size and style. I think?

I always set it to lucida console font size 10, it helps when you're aligning columns.

Re: C language

Sorrie kiddo you're loosing me now.

That's as much as I know. When you've finished the C program can't you just manually change it back to your original font size. I don't see what the problem is?

Also in notepad if you uncheck wordwrap you can fit all the columns on the page and just use the scrollbars to view it all.

Format>wordwrap

Re: C language

Erm, you can only set the font size and font whatever if you save the file in a format that provides some extension on formatting, say, like Rich-Text Format (RTF), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML and/or XHTML), Microsoft Word Document, or Portable Document Format (PDF). In other words, you will have to research on one of these formats, and implement them into your C program. I suggest you go with HTML because it's probably the easiest. If you want to work with other formats, try searching Google for their format specification. Alternatively, you can try searching for libraries already written that will write into the format of desire.

Hope this helps.

Re: C language

If you mean you want to change front at a laser printer attached directly to your computer or on a network -- that is a pretty complex topic all in itself. There are several c++ classes that can make it somewhat easier, and all require more advanced knowledge of c++. Here is probably one of the more easier examples.
