Fontware Installation Kit Typeface Information Missing

ID: Q67015

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a

SUMMARY

If you get the following message when you make fonts

Some typeface information missing. Go to Add/Delete Bitstream Fontware Typefaces

you have chosen a typeface that the Bitstream Fontware Installation Kit (FIK) does not find on your system, even though the name is listed in the Make Fonts windows. This may happen if you have both a PostScript PDL and non-PostScript PDL printer and you added the typeface before setting up Fontware support for the PostScript PDL printer. Choose Add/Delete Bitstream Fontware Typefaces and add the typeface again. Then make your fonts.

MORE INFORMATION

If you are using the starter kit that is available through the fulfillment coupon included with PowerPoint, and you attempt to make PostScript PDL fonts from your free Dutch and Swiss typefaces, you will get the same error message. Times Roman and Helvetica are resident on most PostScript PDL printers; the files needed for Dutch and Swiss PostScript PDL fonts are not shipped with the starter kit. Either purchase Bitstream Scalable Typeface Packages for Dutch and Swiss or select Times Roman and Helvetica in your Windows application.

A Bitstream Fontware Installation Kit is available through a fulfillment coupon included with the retail version of Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows. This starter kit will install fonts for Windows applications only; however, the kit can be merged with other starter kits to provide support for multiple applications as described above.
