Master Set Fonts Don't Print to Original LaserWriter
'Article ID: Q99510

Creation Date: 02-JUN-1993

Revision Date: 14-OCT-1994' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft TrueType Master Set for the Macintosh, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When you print the Master Set TrueType fonts to the Original LaserWriter, the following PostScript errors will result:

Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand

A PostScript Error has been generated by the LaserWriter extension file; the document is OK but cannot be printed. CAUSE

The Microsoft Master Set box incorrectly states that the fonts will work with &quot;Any Macintosh-compatible printer&quot;. The Type 1 PostScript descriptions are too complex for the Original LaserWriter.

The Original LaserWriter will not print commercial TrueType fonts. Besides the Master Set, it fails to print the TrueType fonts that are shipped with System 7.x and the TrueType fonts in Apple's Font Pack.

STATUS

You can return the TrueType Master Set to the retailer or to Microsoft Consumer Sales for a full refund. The Microsoft Consumer Sales and Information Center can be reached at (800) 426-9400.
