Printer.Canvas.Font.Charset

I posted a similar question in internationalization.win32 some time ago, but
nobody responded...

I have an issue where I am explicitly setting Printer.Canvas.Font.Charset,
but nevertheless the printer is rendering the output using the wrong
character set. I suppose this is because the printer does not support the
selected charset in the selected font and it is falling back to some other
font and/or charset.

Questions:

1) How can one confirm if the printer really supports a particular
Printer.Canvas.Font.Charset?
2) In the case that it does not support a particular
Printer.Canvas.Font.Charset, how can find the closest looking font in which
the printer does support it?

Regards,
AndrewFG
