https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Format-of-Output/m-p/32755#M7917 I have been using SAS for about 10 years and have never had a problem printing my output (just the *normal* output, not talking about HTML). All of a sudden, the 'lines' have turned into 'fffff'. Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot or fix it?<BR /> thanks Tue, 08 Jun 2010 18:14:04 GMT mi_ham 2010-06-08T18:14:04Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Procedures/Format-of-Output/m-p/32755#M7917 I have been using SAS for about 10 years and have never had a problem printing my output (just the *normal* output, not talking about HTML).

Either switch the font, if you can, or look up the formchar option. It can be used to change the characters for printing tables and lines in output.
