Downloading and managing printer fonts
The Fiery ZX includes 136 PostScript fonts; for a complete list, see Appendix B
“Font List.” In addition, two Adobe Multiple Master fonts are included and are used
for font substitution in PDF files.
NOTE: Publish Direct Connection must be set to Yes in Fiery ZX Printer Setup in order
to download and manage fonts, and to view the font list.
Before downloading a file that uses fonts not resident on the Fiery ZX, you must
download the fonts. To see what fonts are resident on the Fiery ZX, choose Font List
from the File menu or click the Font List button (see page 5-10).
You can download fonts only via the Direct connection. If you do not have access to
the Direct connection, you must embed any special fonts used by the file in the file
when you generate it.
The screen fonts that correspond to the printer fonts installed on the Fiery ZX are not
automatically installed on your Windows system.
NOTE: You cannot use the Fiery Downloader to download TrueType fonts. If you use
TrueType fonts in Windows, you can print them by converting them to Adobe Type 1
fonts. To do this with the Adobe PS printer driver, click the Fonts tab and set up the
Font Substitution Table as necessary.
Printer fonts and Mac OS screen fonts
Like all PostScript fonts, the fonts included with the Fiery ZX come in two forms:
printer fonts and screen fonts. The printer fonts are installed permanently on the
Fiery ZX hard disk. The screen fonts, which are included with the Fiery ZX user
software, should be installed on your Mac OS computer. If you are using these fonts in
documents you print on a LaserWriter, they are probably already installed. If not, you
will need to install them yourself. For instructions, see Getting Started.
Occasionally, you may want to use Adobe Type 1 (Windows) or PostScript (Mac OS)
fonts that are not included with the Fiery ZX. If so, you will need to install both the
screen fonts and the printer fonts on your computer. To do this, follow the instructions
from the font manufacturer.
