International Fonts Printed as ASCII on PostScript Printers

• Microsoft Windows 95
• Microsoft Windows 98

SYMPTOMS

In some international versions of Windows, you may encounter the following problems when you print to a PostScript printer:

• High-byte glyphs (non-ANSI glyphs) are printed as ASCII characters instead of the appropriate international character.



• Some TrueType fonts (such as Arial, Times New Roman, and Courier) are printed as U.S. ASCII characters instead of Hebrew or Arabic.

CAUSE

TrueType font substitution is enabled. You should configure your printer to always use TrueType fonts.

RESOLUTION

To configure your printer to always use TrueType fonts, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.



2. Right-click the PostScript printer, and then click Properties.



3. On the Fonts tab, click the Always Use TrueType Fonts option button.



4. Click OK.
