Could someone tell me how to print articles with a lot of fancy fonts on a Non-NeXT postscript printer without being able to load all the fonts to the printer ? The articles are prepared on a NeXT station and can be displayed on the console of that machine. But I can not print it out on a non-NeXT printer that I have access through network. Please give me a hand, if you know. Thanks in advance. Zhong-lin

What was the solution to this? I am in the same position and would like to know if there is an easier way to include non standard than using the command fontloader. Thanks for the help.

With NeXTSTEP 3.0, I no longer have to manually download fonts to my Canon LBP8-Mark III when printing documents with strange fonts. The NeXT automagically recognizes which fonts are available and downloads those that aren't. However, I believe that this requires that your printer be a NeXT computer, and running NS3.0, which mine is. Other wise, you are SOL.

Other wise, you are SOL. That should be: your printer should be connected to a NeXT computer..... not be a NeXT computer. - Jiro -- Jiro Nakamura jiro@shaman.com (NeXTmail) NeXTwatch / Technical Editor 76711,542 (CIS) The Shaman Group +1 607 277-1440 (Voice/Fax)
