When ODS PRINTER is used to create PostScript (PS), PCL, or PDF files, the default style used is STYLES.PRINTER. This style has changed in SAS 9.2 to incorporate the use of the newly licensed fonts discussed here:

In a file created with the default style (STYLES.PRINTER) or with a style inherited from STYLES.PRINTER, you might notice new fonts used like Albany AMT, Thorndale AMT, and/or Cumberland AMT. These fonts correspond to the Microsoft fonts Arial, Times New Roman, and Courier, respectively.

The sample code on the Full Code tab illustrates PROC TEMPLATE logic used to create a new style that incorporates the default SAS 9.1.3 fonts, Times or Times New Roman, and Courier or SAS Monospace.

* For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be fixed.

The code below illustrates how to explicitly request Times as the font used for titles, footnotes, data, and headers for tabular (non-Graph) procedures.
