    This article presents the frequently asked questions (FAQ) on the Apple Font Pack.

DISCUSSION

    Question: The package says there are 43 fonts included, but I only count 35. Where are the other 8 fonts?

    Answer: There aren't any missing fonts. The Apple Font Pack contains 43 TrueType fonts, even though only 35 font icons are on the Font Pack disks.

    To conserve hard disk space, 8 of the fonts don't have files and icons. The system software generates these fonts using other fonts in the same family. The 8 fonts have designs that allow the system to produce them with good typographic quality results. The 8 fonts that have no font icons are:

    ITC Lubalin Graph Oblique (from ITC Lubalin Graph)
    ITC Lubalin Graph Bold Oblique (from ITC Lubalin Graph Bold)
    Helvetica Black Oblique (from Helvetica Black)
    Helvetica Compressed Oblique (from Helvetica Compressed)
    Avant Garde Italic (from Avant Garde)
    Avant Garde Bold Italic (from Avant Garde Bold)
    N Helvetica Narrow Italic (from Helvetica Narrow)
    N Helvetica Narrow Bold Italic (from Helvetica Narrow Bold)

    Question: All I get is Courier when printing.

    Answer: Turn on "Unlimited Downloadable Fonts" in the Page Setup Options dialog.


    Question: I just installed the Font Pack. Why is my printer so slow now?

    Answer: Slower printing results when documents have several typefaces, and because TrueType fonts print at the highest possible resolution your printer allows.


    Question: How do I make the special characters and the strike over characters with the Zeal font?

    Answer: You can use the Key Caps desk accessory to view them. Or, refer to page 23 of the "Getting Started with Type" manual that came with your Font Pack.
