Soft Fonts Not Downloading - Check Quantity F |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: The customer was using Bitstream fonts with additional typefaces. Specifically, a newly created 48pt font that was 332K in size. All Bitstream fonts were marked with a plus (+) under the Cartridges and Fonts option in WP. If the user selects the font and types a phrase on a clear screen, the font will print fine. If the same font is selected inside a document with two font changes before encountering the 48pt font change, the 48pt font does not download to the printer. It was suggested that the user increase the Quantity for Soft Fonts under Cartridges and Fonts. The user had 1.5M of printer memory, so the quantity was raised to 800K. The font(s) printed correctly. It appears that Quantity governs not only the fonts that are downloaded by initializing the printer, but also the quantity that can be downloaded at one time, even if downloaded during a print job. The quantity for soft fonts is the total size of fonts you are allowed to have at the printer at any one time. This includes fonts marked with an asterisk (*) that were sent to the printer during initialization, and fonts that were marked with a plus (+) to be downloaded on the fly. The problem the user had would probably be that the two fonts downloaded along with the 332K, 48pt font would have exceeded the specified quantity. With LaserJet type printers, fonts that have been used on the page cannot be unloaded until after that page has been printed. The two previously used "plus" fonts couldn't be unloaded to make room for the 332K font. Note: This problem can occur with fonts from any downloadable soft fonts. This situation is not specific to Bitstream fonts. |
