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.
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 for any help in advance,
Kurt Andersen
