Font Substitution List is Not Loaded from Vendor PPD File (184056)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
This article was previously published under Q184056 SYMPTOMS
You install a PostScript printer with a vendor-supplied PPD file and notice
there is an incomplete list of fonts available for substitution. This list
appears when you select a font from the font substitution table in Device
Settings under properties for a PostScript printer.
CAUSE
This problem is a result of the limited number of PostScript device fonts
supported by the Windows NT 4.0 PostScript driver. If the PPD file
specifies a device font that is not part of the approximately 80 fonts
known to the driver, the driver cannot use that font.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. We
are researching this problem and will post additional information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
