#22: quick printing with TPrinter type using default resident font (part 1)

Sometimes for quick printing on the printer canvas I load a default resident font and draw on the canvas using it.

View a small example:

uses Printers;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
    Printer.BeginDoc;
    Printer.Canvas.Font.Handle := GetStockObject(DEVICE_DEFAULT_FONT);
    Printer.Canvas.TextOut(100,  50, 'Text string1');
    Printer.Canvas.TextOut(100, 150, 'Text string2');
    Printer.EndDoc;
end;
