FontWare Inserts Incorrect Canon Printer Driver Header Section

ID: Q64507

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a

SYMPTOMS

When installing soft fonts using the Bitstream FontWare Installation Kit, FontWare should create a new printer section, [Canon LBP8 Europe], if you install the fonts for the Canon LBP8 or LBP4 printer driver. This does not work with the Microsoft Windows 3.0 Canon printer driver.

CAUSE

The FontWare program looks at the printer driver header information in the WIN.INI file to determine where to insert the font information. FontWare is looking for a [Canon LBP8 Europe] printer driver section when it reads the WIN.INI. The Windows 3.0 Canon driver has changed the header information to [canoniii]. Since FontWare can't find the old header section, it creates a new one and places all of the font information under that header.

WORKAROUND

To correct the problem, remove the [Canon LBP8 Europe] section and copy all of the font information over to the [canoniii] section in WIN.INI.
