Tell me about font management

 

Font management

The Settings > Fonts function lets you

  • display lists showing the fonts installed on the print server,
  • install new fonts,
  • or delete already installed fonts.

Note: You must be logged in as Admin to make any changes.

When this function is selected, you are presented a list of all fonts installed for HP Designjet 50ps on this computer. This function is similar to that of the Fonts function which can be run via the Windows® Control Panel but does not make use of the fonts installed there. Several default fonts that cannot be deleted are installed along with HP Designjet 50ps.

You can view details when you click the button in front of a font name. You can also remove the font in question by clicking the trashcan icon. It is impossible to delete fonts assigned the Read only attribute.

 

Notes on font installation

Only Adobe® Type 1 and Type 3 fonts can be installed. All other font types (e.g. TrueType fonts) must be embedded in the print job.

To install new fonts, use the Upload new font function; on the Macintosh®, use a standard font downloader.

The new font will also appear in the list if you add a font that bears the same name as an already installed read-only font. The HP Designjet 50ps PrintManager will then work with the newly installed font. If you delete this font, the program will automatically use the still existing (protected) font.
