[comp.windows.ms] ATM fonts on non Apple Laserwriter PS printers, problem.

indra@brahms.amd.com (Indra Singhal) (04/01/91)

All those fonts from cica and only the Laserwriter to print on.... :-(

The Sun NeWSprint SPARCprinter barfs if you send it the file with
downloaded PS fonts, so does the Imagen 6320. The same file prints just
fine on the Apple Laserwriter... Any clues?

And, why is the postscript driver so dumb that it downloads the same
font for each page... is that really necessary? This causes the files to
be humonguous with duplicated data. Fixes, anyone?

Thanks in advance for your feedback. Do copy me on your postings on
email... sometimes work keeps me away from News for weeks :-(
