Note: GDI compatible mode does not support Substitute with device fonts. For
further details on GDI compatible mode see page 2-7.
Font Substitution
With Substitute with device fonts selected as the font setting, click Fonts to open
the Font Substitution dialog box.
The System fonts list shows the fonts installed on your computer. The printing
system fonts are listed in the Available device fonts list. Select the system font then
the available device font to be substituted. If the device font does not have similar
font characteristics to the system font, character spacing in the document will appear
incorrect.
Disable Device Fonts
In some cases, the printing system substitutes fonts even if you send the TrueType
fonts as outline fonts or bitmap images. Select Disable device fonts to prevent
substitution of device fonts for TrueType fonts.
When printing with AutoDesk or Adobe applications and Microsoft Office versions
older than Office 2000, select Disable device fonts to overcome device font
limitations with these applications. Device fonts are normally visible in application
font lists as printer icons next to the font name, unless there are equivalent system
fonts, in which case the “TT” TrueType icon remains.
Substitute with device
fonts
System fonts and device fonts are automatically
matched based on typeface name. To match a
specific device font with a system font, select
Substitute with device fonts, then click Fonts to
open the Font Substitution dialog box.
Select under these circumstances:
• To increase print speed and efficiency.
• To change a font found throughout a large
document. This selection replaces the old font
with the desired font.
