- This is probably a FAQ my now, but does anyone know how to get NS3.0 to
- correctly manage font downloading when printing documents?
-
- Sure, it now downloads the fonts it needs, but it takes a darn long time to do
- so.
-
- By manually downloading common fonts ahead of time, I should be able to remove
- the need to download the fonts over and over again with each document.
-
- But it seems that NS3.0 doesn;t query the printer first to establish what fonts
- are already available, and hence, downloads redundantly.
-
- This is a major pain, as it turns a 30 second print job into a 5 minute print
- job each and every time.
-
- Any help appreciated.
