Hi jkb3,<br />
<br />
I personally have not been able to find a way to modify the font used on table columns within the SQL server. You might be able to do it globally on the printer driver, depending on the functionality of your driver.<br />
<br />
Does it become more readable if you stretch the tables to better accomodate the long column names?

Hi jkb3,

Stretching does not work. &nbsp;

Thanks,<br />
<br />
I just find it surprising that this is even an issue. &nbsp;I appreciate the input.<br />

How do you alter the font used in SQL server when printing diagrams?<br />
<br />
My printed diagrams have the text all bunched together and it is unreadable. &nbsp;This does not happen with the table names, or annotations, just column names.<br />
<br />
Thank you.<br />

SQL Server Diagram Properties (FONT)

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.
