WINNT: TrueType Problems on Some Laser Printers |
Q108772
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.1
SYMPTOMS
The Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet Plus and printers that emulate the LaserJet Plus or the original LaserJet may have problems printing TrueType fonts from Microsoft Windows NT version 3.1. Symptoms of this problem include incorrect fonts, garbage characters, and missing characters in the output.
CAUSE
Windows NT downloads TrueType fonts to PCL printers as HP Type 2 fonts. The HP LaserJet Plus and many emulating laser printers do not fully support this font format.
The Panasonic KX-P4450 and Brother HL-8 also exhibit this problem under Windows NT.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use the original Hewlett-Packard LaserJet driver so that TrueType fonts are printed as graphics.
