Graphics and True Type Fonts Print Garbage on Okidata ML320

 Last reviewed: February 24, 1995
Article ID: Q123607
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5

SYMPTOMS

Under Windows NT 3.5, if you print any type of graphics or True Type fonts on an Okidata ML320 (using the OKI9.DLL file) dot matrix printer, the printout may contain garbage or incorrectly formatted characters. Because dot-matrix printers print True Type fonts as graphics, all True Type fonts are affected.

RESOLUTION

To print text correctly, use a built-in printer font, such as Courier 12CPI. There is no workaround for printing True Type fonts or graphics.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server version 3.5. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.5.
