This article was previously published under Q86675 SUMMARY
Publisher provides the ability to print some pages upside-down.
Upside-down printing occurs with the greeting card on pages 2 and 3
(and possibly 4 if using the top fold option) and on page 2 of the
tent card.
Publisher does not have the ability to rotate internal (or cartridge)
printer fonts, except on PostScript printers. With printer-internal
fonts on upside-down pages, Publisher lays out the text as if it were
going to be printed right side up (using the printer font metrics);
when printing, Publisher rotates the bitmap of a closely matching
screen font. Because the screen font doesn't have the same letter
spacing as the internal printer font, abnormal spacing on the printout
will result.
Using a scalable non-printer font will allow the printout to be
correct. Publisher handles scalable non-printer fonts (TrueType,
FaceLift, and Adobe Type Manager) correctly on upside-down pages.
