The following options are available:
●
Sent TrueType fonts as:. This control offers the following settings:
●
Outlines. Use this setting for scalable outlines.
●
Bitmaps. Use this setting for bitmaps.
●
Type 42
●
Don't Send. Use this setting if you do not want any TrueType fonts to be downloaded.
●
Threshold to switch between downloading bitmap or outline fonts, measured in pixels (in
pixel size at the current resolution). Use this control to specify the size of the font (in pixels) at
which the PostScript driver should switch from downloading TrueType fonts as bitmap (Type 3)
fonts to downloading them as outline (Type 1) fonts.
The most efficient threshold value varies depending on the printing resolution. For example, at 300
dpi, downloading TrueType fonts as outlines becomes efficient when fonts are about 25 points or
larger. If this value is 0, outline (Type 1) fonts are always sent.
●
Favor system TrueType fonts over printer fonts that have the same name. Use this option to
specify whether to use system TrueType fonts instead of printer fonts when the same font is found
on both the computer and the printer. Printer fonts are the default.
Using printer fonts can speed up printing because the TrueType fonts do not have to be
downloaded. However, the fonts in the printed document might not exactly match the fonts on your
screen.
●
Send PostScript fonts as:. Use this option to specify whether to download PostScript fonts to the
printer. The following options are available:
●
In Native Format. Clicking this option downloads the PostScript font files to the printer before
your document prints.
●
Don't Send. If you click this option, no fonts are downloaded. This does not affect downloading
of TrueType fonts.
