If you are printing to a PostScript printer, and if you are
using an Adobe downloadable font or a TrueType Font in a graphic, the font
may be printed incorrectly. It may be printed as a bitmap or as a different
font.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the font will not be downloaded to the
printer if it is enclosed in a graphic. Word must encounter the font
before it gets to the graphic in order to properly download it to the
printer. As a result, the font is printed as a bitmap, or, if Font
Substitution is selected, the font is replaced by another font when
you print your document.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, type some text before the graphic that is
being printed with the incorrect font.
Since adding text before this graphic may be undesirable in terms of
the layout and look of the printed piece, you can minimize this
problem by following one or more of these suggestions:
- You can type one character from the font.
- You can place that character in the header.
- You can format the character with the color white. To apply this
format, select the character and then from the Format menu, choose
Character. In the Character box under Color, select white and click OK.
