Master Set Fonts Fail to Print from PageMaker PSS ID Number: Q112560 Article last modified on 10-14-1994 PSS database name: MACSYS

1.00 MACINTOSH

= SYMPTOMS =

Documents containing Master Set TrueType fonts fail to print correctly from versions of PageMaker earlier than 4.2. Possible symptoms include printing errors and fonts switching to Courier on the printout.

= CAUSE =

The Aldus printer driver that ships with versions of PageMaker earlier than version 4.2 does not support TrueType. The problem does not occur with the Aldus printer driver that comes with PageMaker 4.2 and later.

= WORKAROUND =

To workaround this problem, temporarily disable the Aldus printer driver while printing. To disable the driver (and use the standard Apple LaserWriter driver instead), follow these steps:


 * 1) With the PageMaker document active on the screen, press and hold down the Option key, select the File menu, and choose Print.
 * 2) Release the Option key. In the Print dialog box, choose the Print button.
