HPPCL5E: Printer Fonts Are Displayed Twice in Font List (94143)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows 3.11

This article was previously published under Q94143

SUMMARY

When you use the printer driver for the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 4/4M (HPPCL5E.DRV), if the TrueType Screen Fonts Installed check box located in the driver's setup dialog box is NOT selected, but the Intellifont equivalent TrueType fonts for the printer are installed into Windows, the font list in an application will appear to have two copies of the same font listed.

To display only one copy of each font, use Control Panel to access the Setup dialog box of the HPPCL5E driver and select the TrueType Screen Fonts Installed check box.

MORE INFORMATION

Enumeration of TrueType fonts is handled by Windows rather than the driver. If equivalent TrueType fonts for the internal Intellifont fonts of the printer are installed, Windows enumerates these fonts regardless of whether the driver enumerates the internal Intellifont fonts. Selecting the TrueType Screen Fonts Installed check box causes the driver not to enumerate the internal Intellifont fonts.
