Can't print True Type fonts

I have been unable to print certain true type fonts on OS X from my HP laser printer. I had no trouble printing from OS X on my past Powerbook, and then realized that the difference with my current machine and past machines was that this is the first Mac I had that didn't have OS 9 installed. On my past computers, I had installed Adobe Type Manager (ATM), but of course didn't have it on my current Powerbook.
Is there an ATM for OS X? How can I get my true type fonts to print like they used to on my HP Laserjet?
Thanks for the help,

I have been unable to print certain true type fonts
on OS X from my HP laser printer.
which ones? where were they stored?
I had no trouble
printing from OS X on my past Powerbook, and then
realized that the difference with my current machine
and past machines was that this is the first Mac I
had that didn't have OS 9 installed.
This should make no difference. You can place OS 9 TrueType fonts in the Library/Fonts folder instead of the System Folder/Fonts folder if you want.
On my past
computers, I had installed Adobe Type Manager (ATM),
but of course didn't have it on my current Powerbook.
Makes no difference unless you're running Classic.
Is there an ATM for OS X?
No. OS X uses PDF for both screen and print display. ATM is required only for Classic/OS 9.
How can I get my true type
fonts to print like they used to on my HP Laserjet?
Put them in a font folder where the OS will see them. Possible font folders:
1 Library/Fonts
2 <user>/Library/Fonts
3 System Folder/Fonts
Thanks for the help,

  • How to print true type font in smartform with ECC6

    hi,expert:
    I want to use true type font "Comic Sans MS.ttf".
    I upload this font file by SE73 named ZTT2I.
    In SE73.. select the Radio button "Font Families" And click on the "True type Font Installation" button. click the font attribute ITALIC。
    Our print device is LP01 and driver is CNSAPWIN
    when I create a new style in smartform using the font ZTT, in preview window the font still like other font.
    Our system is IDES ECC6, SAP_BASIS SAPKB70014
    Now when I create smartfrom in language EN adn logon with language EN,it can print correct style of that font.
    But if the smartform is base on language ZH or logon with language ZH, the output is not correct.
    why? How to solve it?
    how can I solve this problem?
    thaks a lot

    Hi,
    Is the problem that uploaded true type font ZTT is not used when language is ZH? Did you update the chinese version of the style associated with the smartform? There is a separate style for each language version. So you need to log on in Chinese language and update the style with new paragraph, character formats. Then you need to activate the style and smartform for ZH langauge also.

  • Junk Characters are coming in the Print Preview of True Type Font

    Hi
    I am facing one issue. Here I have installed on one of the True type font of Gujarati (one of Regional language for India) language.When I see Print preview using LP01 Output device (which has SWIN Device Type) these true type font coming as Junk characters. But when I take print it is coming perfectly Ok. I want to know is there any setting required to maintain for Output device to see Print Preview in Gujarati also ?
    I feel that when System is generating output for Preview it is ignoring true type font..

  • How can i get & use java true type fonts in my applet

    Hi,
    I could get the System fonts in my Applet by making use of Toolkit.getFontList()
    I have used getGraphicsEnvironment to get fonts but my browser doesn't support it.I get ClassNotFoundException.
    How can I get & make use True Type Fonts in my Java Applet.
    Regards
    Siva

    To use getGraphicsEnvironment, you must convert your HTML with the HTMLConverter -- this will tell the browser not to use the native JVM to run your applet but to use a Java plugin to run the applet. If you cannot find HTMLConverter in your system, you may have to download it from Sun's web site.

  • True Type Fonts in Java

    Hi all
    I searched through the forum and found some threads with the same problem but never a solution attached so here is my question:
    I'm currently trying to use a True Type Font in Java. I installed the font under windows and it works fine in e.g. Word, but when I try to use it in Java all I can see are "rectangles". I'm not sure if the problem lies in the font itself or if it is a problem of Java. The fonts are named "Fughetta" and "Toccata" and can be found here: http://www.efn.org/~bch/aboutfonts.html. He is a code snippet I'm using to test the font:
    public void setFonts(Graphics g)
            if (f != null) {
                return;
            f = new Font("Fughetta", Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, 26);
            System.out.println(f);
        public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
            super.paintComponent(g);
            setFonts(g);
            String s1 = "1234567890��!\"�$%&/(()=?`";
            String s2 = "qwertzuiop�+asdfghjkl��#yxcvbnm,.-<";
            String s3 = "QWERTZUIOP�*ASDFGHJKL��'YXCVBNM;:_>";
            String s4 = "1��{[]\\}@�~�|";
            g.setFont(f);
            g.drawString(s1, 10, 30);
            g.drawString(s2, 10, 70);
            g.drawString(s3, 10, 110);
            g.drawString(s4, 10, 150);
        }All help is appreciated ;)

    Hy, Thanks for your sollution, but now I can't use this kind of approach.
    I need to show a Bar Code Font inside a JTable cell, so I created my CellRenderer, in which I tried to change the font to my "Code EAN13" True Type font.
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
                Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column)  {
                 Component c = super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, hasFocus, row, column);
                 if (column == CollectInfoTableModel.CODBAREPRODUS_INDEX ) {
                         Font barCodeFont = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 36);
                         c.setFont(barCodeFont);                 
    }This doesn't work, it just prints some strange characters.
    I tried your sollution, but when I make :
    Graphics2D g2D= (Graphics)c.getGraphics();i keep getting g2D = null.
    What can I do ?
    Is there a way to obtai a valid Grapics object on which to draw the glyphVector on ?

  • Windows True Type font fine in Font Book but not in some apps

    I got a Windows True Type font from a guy having some issues with it when printing website on Windows XP and I thought I'd try the font on Mac OS X 10.4.4.
    It imports fine into Font Book and previews fine. When I opened up TextEdit the font can be seen in the list of fonts, but when one selects it changes to the Monaco font instead of the "real" font seen in Font Book.
    In Word the font don't show up at all but in Photoshop it seems to work fine.
    The font is validated fine according to Font Book.
    How come it behaves like this?

    Thanks for your reply.
    "OCR-A BT" is the name of the font.
    The origin I don't know about. I just got it from a guy I barely know.
    I know there can be various problems with fonts. Just thought it was interesting that Font Book validated and showed it fine, but still it didn't seem to be all healthy since it doesn't work in all app.

  • Replacement of true type fonts on Linux

    I have developed a report with Reports 6i on a Windows NT client
    using the font "Times New Roman". When I generate the report on
    a Linux (Suse 7.2) to a PDF-file then the font is replaced by
    the font "itc avant garde gothic" although I can select the
    font "Times New Roman" in the "Control Center" of KDE.
    Can someone tell me why Reports is replacing the font ?
    Thanks.

    Aren't the real questions:  What font are you attempting to send to the Zebra printer?  What true type fonts does your model Zebra printer support?
    You should look at Google with "True type Font Zebra"...you would find this reference to Zebra with SmartForms, which is indicative of how you should proceed, probably:

  • Why Premiere Title don´t see my new True Type fonts?

    I´ve installed several new true type fonts but Premiere´s Title don´s see them. What can I do to fix it?
    Thanks.

    Ann,
    I think that I missed something in your commets. Please help me understand. On my workstation, I've got over 9K Fonts. These are in my C:\Fonts\PS_Fonts, \\TT_Fonts and \\OTF_Fonts folders. The only ones that show up in any program are the ones that are "installed" in my system. I cannot "test drive" any of the non-installed in any program, that I know of, except, of course, Extensis Suitcase.
    What am I missing? Maybe, I'm about to learn something really new and neat?
    Thanks,
    Hunt
    PS to the OP, do you have a list of the Fonts, that are not showing up? I'd be curious to see what they are. I've seen times that some of the Asian Fonts did not show, even when properly installed. There is a "patch" from MS for those, but cannot find the link. I believe that some Arabic Fonts also need a special "patch" from MS. Do any of yours fall into these catagories?

  • Displaying Windows True Type fonts using Java 1.1.x

    Can anyone shed some light on why I cant just use the name of the fon't I want to display? Here is the code I'm using:
    Font font1 = new Font(sFontName, iStyle, iSize);
    this.setFont(font1);
    sFontName is the name of the font, and it works with the font names that are garaunteed by Java (i.e. Dialog, DialogInput, Monospaced, Serif, SansSerif, or Symbol), but if I try to use a true type font name such as "Tahoma" it just loads the default font instead. Is there a different method required to load system dependant fonts?
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    If your font is properly installed (i.e. in the fonts folder and you've performed a restart) then it should work. I have code in the splash screen for an open source project like this:
    subTitleLbl.setFont (new java.awt.Font ("Lucida Blackletter", 0, 18));Which works if the font is properly installed. Otherwise, it simply grabs the system font, as you indicated.
    I've done some searching, and haven't found a way to load a font into java. Java won't do it because it's not platform independent.
    Fortunately, this code works even if the font is not present--it just won't have the font you want.

  • Not seeing True Type Font: eurofurence light in InDesign 2.0

    I am trying to do some graphic work in InDesign 2.0 and I cannot find the "eurofurence light" which is a True Type Font. 
    My computer is running Windows Vista.
    I have installed the fonts into Windows Fonts at C:\Windows\Fonts
    Microsoft Word has the font avalible in both upper and lower case.
    Photoshop CS2 has the font but it I cannot get it to type a lower case letter.
    How can I get InDesign 2.0 to allow me to use "eurofurence light" True Type Font?
    Thank you,
    John

    In reading other posts I see that there is more information about the font that I can give.
    Font Name: eurofurence light
    Version: 4.0 2000-03-28
    True Type Outlines
    I installed it via Control Panel/Appearance/Fonts.
    I have scrolled all the way to the bottom of the Indesign font list and slowly checked the whole list several times to see if it located in a special place on the list.
    Thank you,
    John

  • Problem with True Type font

    I have a Windows True Type font (Palatino Linotype, purchased directly from Linotype) that I use in my PowerPoint presentations in order to provide compatibility with my benighted PC-based clients. I just installed Leopard (a Christmas present from my family!), and this font is not working properly in Word.
    Two letters are bad: i and j. There is extra space inserted after the letter i whether upper or lower case. There is no space around the letter j: if I type 10 consecutive j's, I see only one.
    It was working fine in Tiger. It works fine in Excel, PowerPoint, and Mail (i.e., it displays correctly and prints correctly). The error only occurs in Word and persists when I send the file to the printer, and also persists if I print to PDF or Preview. The error is visible in all layouts of Word.
    I checked out 10-12 other fonts, including several other TTF fonts, and they are all okay. I also tried moving the font from my user Library to the System Library, and taking it out of the folder that it came in, but the effect is the same.
    I have the latest version of Word (11.3.8). I have updated my initial install to 10.5.1. I do not have any special drivers loaded. My machine is pretty much plain vanilla Apple.
    I suspect that this is either a Word problem or a Linotype problem, but neither of those vendors are usually of much help, so I'm hoping that someone here might be able to assist.

    If you haven't done so already, it's important to ask yourself here

  • Any problem with replacing system true type fonts with postscript?

    I want to replace the Times true type (d.font) font in the systems fonts folder with a Times Postscript font. Will this cause any problems? Are there any system true type fonts that can't be replaced with postscript fonts?

    You should not deal with fonts inside /System/Library/Fonts/. Your system may not be able to boot!
