TOPIC

    The LaserWriter 8500 doesn't print accented characters, umlaut, cedilla, grave accent .. etc., when using the Chicago TrueType font. If I use a different font, these characters print correctly.


DISCUSSION

    Was an issue with older versions of Chicago and Geneva such as those versions that shipped with Mac OS 8.1. The newer correct fonts ship on the LW 8500 CD and newer versions of the Mac OS including Mac OS 8.5.

    Workarounds:

    1) Replace the Chicago TrueType font in your Fonts folder with the version that shipped on the CD-ROM disc for your LaserWriter 8500 or a Mac OS 8.5 CD.
    2) Use the Apple Printer Utility to download the Chicago TrueType font to the printer.
