- How much memory does your printer have? Is the memory value correctly
- set in your printer driver? As you point out the 30 point font is a
- very large one. The new printer driver doesn't just download the
- fonts, it manages the fonts according to available printer memory. If
- the large 30 point font is occupying memory needed for other fonts it
- will be deleted, with the consequence that it must be downloaded again
- if you use it subsequently. If you have more memory than your printer
- driver knows about, correcting the memory setting may remedy the matter.
