TrueType and Graphics on HP LaserJet Printers (82798)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q82798 SUMMARY
Under the Microsoft Windows version 3.1, mixing TrueType (TT) fonts and
graphics objects on the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet printer can cause
inconsistent results (that is, not true WYSIWYG). To get the printout to
match the screen, turn on Print TrueType As Graphics in the Printers Setup
dialog box.
MORE INFORMATION
TT characters are downloaded to the HP LaserJet II and III series of
printers by default and are treated as device fonts. This dramatically
increases the speed of printing but can cause the printed output to
not match the screen display in certain situations.
In the most common situation, an opaque graphics object overlays TT
text in the document; on the screen the TT font does not show through
the object, but on the printout, it does. Another related problem
concerns printing white TT fonts on a shaded background; the HP
LaserJet II series of printers can't do this, but the HP III series
can. Turning on Print TrueType as Graphics in the Printer Setup dialog
box corrects both of these problems but the print job takes longer to
complete.
