[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Printers on System 7.0

marmar@mtk.UUCP (Mark Martino) (09/07/89)

My boss seems to think that printers that operate on System 7.0 will
need to provide screen fonts in addition to the fonts necessary for
printing.  He said a font vendor told him he would need 57 screen fonts.

I thought System 7.0 was supposed to handle printers more gracefully
than that.  The information Apple has provided me with doesn't seem to
address that issue.  Will there be more coming soon?

This is false. The new outline fonts will work both on the screen and on 
the printer. If your printer has 57 fonts built into it then you would 
need the corresponding 57 screen fonts.
