I have put a RichEdit on a form to represent part of a page. The size of the 'page' is reduced so that the user can see the whole page to gauge the effect of input. When the 'page' is printed, the RichEdit area is expanded and moved on the printer page to the required position. The code below does this very well with one slight (read MASSIVE) problem. The font does not scale.
I have tried playing around with setting the Window and Viewport origins and extents as the reading I have done seem to point to this. Unfortunately, I have had no success. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
