Printing on 3.1 and NT

Windows NT and VisualC++ 2.2 .
Hi,
I'm posting this for a friend:
He has an app that has two versions one for Windows 3.1 (VC++ 1.52) and the
other for Windows NT (VC++ 2.2). The app prints using MM_TEXT mode and the
font size specified in pixels. The app scales the font size based on the
printer resolution so that the print appears the same on different printers.
This works fine on NT for the two printers it has been tested on : HP Laser jet
and a Digital Turbo Server.
However on the Windows 3.1 the print appears smaller on the HP Laser jet.
On the Digital Turbo Server the print is the right size.
Has anybody had such a problem?
TIA

If you're using MM_TEXT, and specifiying the size of fonts via pixels
(or, rather, logical units which are pixels in the case of MM_TEXT),
then there is no gaurantee that the font will appear the same size on
different printers.
I suppose that on his NT machine, he had both the HP and DTS drivers
set to the same resolution; the resolution to print at is usually a
property of the printer driver, available to the user via the control
panel (for NT3.51 and Win 3.1). Maybe under 3.1 he had different
resolutions set for the two drivers, causing things to appear
differently.

Are the printer fonts in question fully scalable?
If not, the text will be rounded down to the nearest
supported size.
