- 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.
