-
- This is dependant on your printer driver. If you install the fonts
- using the printer icon's settings, the driver should handle it all.
- It should download what it doesn't have built-in. For instance, if
- you install an ATM font in OS/2, and try to print it, it gets
- downloaded into PostScript printers automatically.
-
- If you have a font that isn't recognized by the printer driver, I
- don't know what you can do.
