= SUMMARY =

Adobe Corporation reports that some of its downloadable font sets for PostScript printers are very large. If too many font types are downloaded, the printer may not have enough memory to accept all of the fonts.

Printers with less than 1 megabyte (MB) of RAM are very susceptible to running out of memory if additional fonts are downloaded before printing. An example of this is the Optima font from Adobe. It is very large, and it is recommended that a maximum of two font types be downloaded if the printer has less than 1 MB of RAM.
