Print does not match display

    I’ve looked at several print plugins, and POM seems to do the best job with forms, tables, and multi-column layouts. Many thanks!

    I checked the “Yes, use theme CSS” box, and the print preview picks up the font used by my theme. However, when I print, the resulting file is in a different font, that appears to be Times New Roman.

    Maybe I misunderstood the meaning of the checkbox? I thought it would cause the preview and print to use the font from my theme. Do I need to define a custom CSS to make that happen?

    Thanks for your help.

    without a link, we can only use our imagination.
    it’s possible that your css is defined using elements that are not present in the targeted print element. for example, if the element you want to print has an class of ‘monkey’ but the css defines monkey as:

    #zoo .monkey {
   font-weight: bold;
}

    It would ignore this because on the print-only page. the monkey is not inside of the element with an id of zoo.

    But this is only a guess. A link would be helpful here.

    My apologies – the site is under development on my home computer and not yet available. I don’t want to open up my personal machine, but when I stand up a test site in a week or two I’ll be happy to provide a link at that time. Meanwhile, you have given me an idea of where/how to investigate. Thank you for the quick response.

    Your guess was correct. It’s been quite a while since I’ve done any css work, and I needed hint to get started. I used the “custom print page style” box to define the font-family for the necessary elements, and all is well. Thanks again for the quick response, and pointing me in the right direction!
