Thus the printer is unlikely to have any hardware fonts. There may be settings in your PDF viewer to enable/disable the use of local fonts and something like "print text as graphics" - you may play with them. But in general PDF document/PDF viewer/Windows GDI printer driver combo may or may not work depending on the astrological conditions. /* Offtopic Is "go and get a PostScript 3 printer or use GhostScript, both are dirt cheap" an answer backed by the collective wisdom of ConTeXt/LuaTeX/pdfTeX users? */ Sincerely, Michail ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
