Sorry for replying so late.

Take a look at the X<>Y in line 93. Since the character widths do not match this line is out of alignment (here the line is a bit too short). I am not sure how this character replacement is implemented exactly, maybe you (Bernhard) can shed some light on this. Also I wonder why the divide symbol is "/" instead of "÷".

The problem is that none of the available fonts exactly matches the HP-19C printer font. The "exchange" single character wasn't even present in the Courier New font, so I replaced it by two characters <>, loosing the alignment. And the divide symbol can appear only, if you choose the HP82240R font.

I didn't find a setting for the line spacing in the font class of c#, maybe I was not searching consequently enough.

This would solve all of the above HP-19C printer issues.

The slider position is not part of the "Continuous Memory" RAM, it is a mechanical memory, which is not saved to disk. The HP-19C emulator always starts in MAN mode, as well as it always starts in RUN mode. BTW it doesn't save either, whether the f or g prefix was pressed before switching off.
