Hello,
Do the printing functions in Purebasic make good outputs on paper? (no border problem, etc...)
Is printing okay on Mac?
Re: Is printing okay on Mac?
Is a good question and I'm interested to hear what others have to say about it.
PB has changed over the years, for the Mac, and now I have to use a font size 4 times larger than the screen size to have the same output but the print is sharp. When printing graphics I use the same formula and to simplify things I use a procedure that does the conversions for both and to do the print routines.

Re: Is printing okay on Mac?
There are several options on the mac besides PB's built in print.
You can use applescript, you can use the webprint userlib (http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 6&p=395875).
Using HTML formatted text gives you a more or less similar result regardless of platform.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
