TrueType Fonts Print Incorrectly with 25 in One! Cartridge

ID: Q84150

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

SYMPTOMS

When the 25 in One! font cartridge from Pacific Data Products is used with a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet or compatible under Microsoft Windows version 3.1, text formatted to use TrueType fonts may print in a different font.

CAUSE

This problem is due to printer firmware limitations on the total number of fonts the printer can use. For all HP LaserJet Series II and later printers, the printer driver attempts to download TrueType fonts to the printer by default. If the printer reaches its upper limit on the number of fonts it may use, downloaded TrueType fonts are ignored and text prints in some other font.

WORKAROUND

You can work around this limitation by having the printer driver send TrueType font information to the printer as raster graphics. To do this, you must select the Print TrueType As Graphics option:

Run Control Panel.

Choose the Setup button.

Choose the Options button.

Select the Print TrueType As Graphics check box.

You might also be able to resolve this problem by choosing a different font cartridge that does not contain as many fonts.
