In Windows 3.1x, I was able to download fonts using the LaserWriter printer driver. Is there a way to do download fonts in Windows 95 or Windows NT?
DISCUSSION Apple does not provide a solution for downloading PostScript fonts in Windows 95 and Windows NT. In addition, Windows 95 and Windows NT are not aware of PostScript fonts downloaded to a printer by another computer. Any fonts downloaded from a Mac OS or Windows 3.1x computer will not be seen by Windows 95/NT clients. Workaround The following workaround for Windows 95 is only recommended when downloading PostScript fonts to a hard drive. This workaround is not available in Windows NT because NT's PostScript driver does not support the "don't send Postscript fonts" option. 1) Download all your PostScript fonts to the printer's hard drive from a Mac OS or Windows 3.1x computer 2) On the Windows 95 machine, get Properties on your printer icon 3) Click the Fonts tab 4) Select "Send Fonts As..." 5) For "Send PostScript Fonts As" select "Don't Send". The printer will assume all PostScript fonts in a job are already resident on the printer. If all the fonts in the job are resident on the printer, the job will print correctly. However, if one or more fonts in the document are not resident on the printer, then the job will not print correctly because the printer will not have all of the fonts it needs. |
