TITLE   :Deleting Soft Fonts in Windows NT Affects All Printers
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1

If you have multiple printers installed, deleting the soft fonts from
one printer removes the fonts from the entire system, including all
other printers where you may have the fonts installed.
 
When soft fonts are installed, they are available to all printers that
are able to use them. If you install another printer, the fonts are
automatically available to that printer. Thus, deleting fonts from one
printer also deletes them from all printers.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
The only way to retrieve the fonts is to reinstall them.
