Downloading and managing printer fonts

The ColorPASS includes 136 PostScript fonts; for a complete list, see Appendix B
"Font List." In addition, two Adobe Multiple Master fonts are included and are used
for font substitution in PDF files.
Before downloading a file that uses fonts not resident on the ColorPASS, you must
download the fonts (unless the fonts are embedded in the file). To see what fonts are
resident on the ColorPASS, choose Font List from the File menu or click the Font List
button (see page 5-10).
You can download fonts only via the Direct connection. If you do not have access to
the Direct connection, you must embed any special fonts used by the file in the file
when you generate it.
The screen fonts that correspond to the printer fonts installed on the ColorPASS are
not automatically installed on your Windows system.
You cannot use Fiery Downloader to download TrueType fonts. If you use
N :
OTE
TrueType fonts in Windows, you can print them by converting them to Adobe Type 1
fonts. To do this with the Adobe PS printer driver for Windows 95/98/Me, click the
Fonts tab and set up the Font Substitution Table as necessary. For Windows NT 4.0,
go to the PostScript tab of the ColorPASS Properties dialog box, then select TrueType
fonts>TrueType fonts setting>Download as Softfont. For Windows 2000, click the
Layout or Paper/Quality tab of the ColorPASS Printing Preferences dialog box, then
select Graphic>TrueType Font>Download as Softfont.
Printer fonts and Mac OS screen fonts
Like all PostScript fonts, the fonts included with the ColorPASS come in two forms:
printer fonts and screen fonts. The printer fonts are installed permanently on the
ColorPASS hard disk. The screen fonts, which are included with the ColorPASS user
software, should be installed on your Mac OS computer. If you are using these fonts in
documents you print on a LaserWriter, they are probably already installed. If not, you
will need to install them yourself. For instructions, see Getting Started.
