colored? For me, each tab, when selected, is blue.

Here is some unhelpful information from the dictionary:
The list of font names includes a set of special-purpose names which
automatically select the matching font for the platform. You can use these to

side of one line.
Everything came out fine. Mac 10.13.4, LC 9.5.1

This is done with "revPrintField", where it is only in the print dialog that I
