Hi David

the printing support in Xcode?
Not speaking for anyone else, but since you're asking, I do all my
printing with BBEdit rather than ProjectBuilder / Xcode because it
looks better and I find it more readable. PB uses a large font (I
suppose someone might now tell me I could adjust this, but I haven't
seen such an option) so I don't get enough on a page.
I arrived at this preference in PB days so maybe I should try again
with Xcode.
Test. I've just done a print preview of the same code file with BBEdit
and Xcode to compare. With default settings the BBEdit version took 2
pages (about 1 2/3 full). Xcode wants three pages (2 1/2). There you
have it. 50% saving on paper costs with BBEdit!
The Xcode page uses a nice, large, clear, sans, proportional font, but
this is source code. Monaco 9 is good enough. Spreading it over more
pages not only wastes paper, it actually makes it harder for me to
follow my code structure.
Thanks for asking. I'm pleased to see that you (Apple) are watching.
