Sofus: Type 1 fonts consist of different font files
for normal, bold, italic ....
All fonts need to be installed and accessible by ATM
in the document.
"Bold" is not shown" in the PM font list, but if available,
it will be selected if used in the actual text.

Hej G. Hoffmann
Thanks for the quick answer.

Well all the fonts are installt, and we can use and see the font clearly on the screen, but not in printing, thats where the fonts gets Courier instead, the problem is from the sending to the printer, the printer "Tektronix Phaser 780 C" has the right ppd-file, so thats not where the problems is.

Hope you or some one else can help.

Best regards

Sofus: I can imagine one reason: the printer which is assigned
to the document tells PM, that Futura is a printer resident font.
The actually used printer doesn´t have this font. Then the default
Courier will be shown.
a) Check the box "Download TrueType and Type1" in the printer
control panel (re-translated from German).
b) Inspect the PPD for the printer(s) by use of any text editor.
Here you find some readable informations about resident fonts.
My recipe: I remove in all PPDs (in a copy) all informations about resident
fonts, leaving only Courier and the respective block header and footer.
This will force the system to embedd fonts too.
Hope this helps actually. ----G.Hoffmann.
