To print with QuickDraw GX, you need a QuickDraw GX printer driver for your printer.
• If you have an Apple printer, the QuickDraw GX versions of your currently installed printer drivers are installed with the QuickDraw GX software. All Apple printers (except the Apple Color Printer, and Color StyleWriter Pro) have GX drivers. The Color StyleWriter Pro will have a GX driver available soon.
• If you have a non-Apple printer, check with your Apple-authorized dealer or contact your printer vendor directly to make sure that you have the right printer driver for your printer. For printer vendor contact information, see the "QuickDraw GX Printer Driver Upgrade Information" section below.
• The AppleTelecom 2.0 package—with Express Modem and GeoPort fax drivers—is compatible with QuickDraw GX. For more information, see the "QuickDraw GX Fax Information" section later in this file.

Using Fonts
Type 1 Fonts Enabled During Installation
During installation, QuickDraw GX enables any Type 1 fonts found in the System Folder, the Fonts folder, or the Extensions folder. However, you must ensure that each Type 1 font family is in its own suitcase. The installer enabler will not enable your Type 1 fonts if multiple font families are contained in one suitcase. QuickDraw GX does the following:
• creates a new folder called •Archived Type 1 Fonts• in your Fonts folder
• moves all suitcases referring to Type 1 fonts to the •Archived Type 1 Fonts• folder
• moves all Type 1 outline font files to the •Archived Type 1 Fonts• folder
• makes a copy of the original suitcase and puts the copy in the Fonts folder
• creates one or more 'sfnt' font resources from the corresponding Type 1 outline font files and places the resources into the suitcase in the Fonts folder
The 'sfnt' (scalable font) resource was originally specified to contain TrueType font data. When QuickDraw GX enables a font, the 'sfnt' resource may contain either TrueType font data or PostScript Type 1 font data.
You can find instructions for installing QuickDraw GX in the Macintosh System 7.5 Upgrade Guide.
Adobe Type Manager version 3.8.2
ATM version 3.8.2 is installed with this version of QuickDraw GX. ATM 3.8.2 includes native support for Power Macintosh computers.
Type 1 fonts will display and print properly only if ATM is installed and turned on. As with previous versions, ATM 3.8.2 rasterizes Type 1 font data from the POST resource in conventional outline font files (file type LWFN). In addition, ATM 3.8.2 rasterizes Type 1 font data from the 'sfnt' resource in suitcase files (file type FFIL). ATM 3.8.2 does not include font substitution capability.
Enabling Type 1 Fonts After Installation
You may need to enable Type 1 fonts that are not located in the System Folder, the Fonts folder, or the Extensions folder. Or you may need to enable Type 1 fonts installed after you install QuickDraw GX. To enable Type 1 fonts, use the Type 1 Enabler (one of the QuickDraw GX Utilities). You must ensure that each Type 1 font family is in its own suitcase. The Type 1 Enabler will not enable your Type 1 fonts if multiple font families are contained in one suitcase.
To install the QuickDraw GX Utilities and enable Type 1 fonts, see the instructions in Chapter 3 ("Installing QuickDraw GX") of the Macintosh System 7.5 Upgrade Guide.
The Type 1 Enabler supports only Type 1 fonts. If the Type 1 Enabler program encounters a suitcase containing Type 3 fonts, it displays the message “Contains a Type 3 font program” and does not enable the suitcase.
The Type 1 Enabler does not enable hybrid fonts. If you see the message “Contains a hybrid font program (see README file for details)” when the Type 1 Enabler attempts to enable Optima or ITC Eras, it may be because you have an old version of these fonts.These fonts cannot be enabled because they are hybrid fonts. If you are a registered owner of Optima or ITC Eras, call Adobe Systems Technical Support to obtain an upgrade to the non-hybrid versions of these families.
Removing Duplicate Fonts
To make sure that QuickDraw GX properly manages currently installed fonts, you should make sure you have no duplicate fonts installed in the System Folder. Remove any duplicates that you find.
