I recently purchased (at my personal expense) a new Hewlett-Packard
LaserJet III with the appropriate hardware/firmware to be used with
my Mac (SE/30). I have found that it will not print Type1 fonts
created with Fontographer 3.1. Instead, it fails with an "illegal
font" error (as detected with Adobe's error-handler code).
Has anyone else seen this? Is there any solution? If this will not
work, I will probably send the printer back as it is advertised as
being equivalent to the Apple LaserWriter IINT (these fonts work fine
with a IINT(X)).
Other, possibly relevant info: System 6.0.5, HP LaserJet III driver
(based upon LW 6.0), failure mode persists with LW 6.0 and 5.2 drivers.
Type3 versions of the same fonts work OK, ATM 1.2 in the system folder
but failure persists regardless of having ATM turned on or off.
Since I am an HP employee, my support questions get put on the bottom
of the stack, but I was encouraged to take this problem to the net.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Kurt Andersen
