Won't read fonts

Windows programs install fonts in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. The fonts in that folder are accessible by all Windows programs - including Broderbund programs. However, older versions of Print Shop and PrintMaster are designed to use ONLY *.ttf fonts . So, the only fonts that those Broderbund programs can access in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder are *.ttf fonts.

NOTE: Since both Print Shop 2.0 & 3.0 and PrintMaster 2.0, 2011 and 2012 do not access fonts from Broderbund's Core Fonts folder, the following information does not apply to those versions of Print Shop and Printmaster.

Older versions of Print Shop and PrintMaster install fonts in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Broderbund\Core Fonts folder. The fonts installed in that folder are accessible ONLY in Broderbund programs and are NOT accessible in other Windows programs.

Some newer versions of Print Shop and PrintMaster install shortcuts for some (but not all) Broderbund fonts in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. When shortcuts for Broderbund fonts are installed in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder, those fonts will be accessible in all Windows programs.

For all other Broderbund fonts - which don't have a shortcut in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder - the most efficient way to use those fonts in other Windows programs would be to manually install those fonts in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder.

To install Broderbund fonts into the C:\Windows\Fonts folder, do this:

WinXP & WinVista:

1. Open the C:\Windows\Fonts folder (either by going to Control Panel then clicking on 'Fonts' or by opening Windows Explorer then selecting the C:\Windows\Fonts folder)

2. When the Fonts window opens, click on 'File' in the menubar then click on 'Install New Font' in the menu that drops down.

3. When the Add Fonts window opens, click in the box next to 'Copy fonts to Font folder' (to remove the checkmark).

NOTE: When the checkmark is removed from the box next to 'Copy fonts to Font folder', the end result will be one font file in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Broderbund\Core Fonts folder and a shortcut to that font file in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. If the checkmark is not removed, you will end up with two identical font files - one in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Broderbund\Core Fonts folder and one in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. Since it's not absolutely necessary to have font files in both folders, you can save some hard drive space by making sure that the checkmark is removed from the box next to 'Copy fonts to Font folder'.

4. Using the Folders: box on the bottom left side of the Add Fonts window, navigate to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Broderbund\Core Fonts folder. Then, double-click on the Core Fonts folder.

6. After the font names are displayed, click on the name of the font you want to install, then click on OK. After the font is installed, it should appear in the fonts lists for all of your installed software.

If you don't mind having two identical font files on your hard drive, you can install Broderbund fonts by simply copying the font file from the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Broderbund\Core Fonts folder to the C:\Windows\Fonts folder.

Windows 7:

Either simply copy the font file to the C:\Windows\Fonts folder or right click on the font file then select 'Install' from the menu that drops down.

Win98 or WinME:

WARNING: If you are using Win98 or WinME, you will want to be sure to NOT have more than 750 fonts installed in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder - because more than 750 installed fonts on Win98 or WinME can cause a multitude of problems.

Problem is with carriage unit.

too many fonts , there may be corrupt the font cache,, remove unwanted fonts and check if there are incompatible fonts files

Hi
First before you buy a new cartridge,try doing a 'printhead' cleaning on your machine.Sometimes the printheads need cleaning clogginl.

yes you can.... you can add new fonts....
paste the new font files in to
control panel---> fonts
(switch to classic view for easy finding the fonts folder)
and you can use the fonts in any program..
download the fonts from net and paste
ok... have fun... comment pls

Fonts and font sizes are managed within the program you are using, the actual font files, and your operating system (typically Windows). This is especially true with some languages on the internet - you will need Language Packs from the program manufacturer to successfully display the characters of some languages.
If the printer works with other fonts and other programs just fine, but is having a problem with one specific font or program, then you will need to contact the manufacturer of the font (Or Microsoft, if it is a font that came with Windows), or the program manufacturer, for more assistance. The printer only prints what is sent to it, if other programs work fine, then the printer, its driver, and the related hardware are fine. Any printer does also not include fonts in the installation of the printer driver, so reinstalling the printer driver will not replace or solve font problems. If the printer is not working from multiple programs, let us know so we can troubleshoot this issue. Otherwise, you will need to contact your program manufacturer for information on how to manage fonts or the manufacturer of your specific font.

This usually results in a conflict between a printer font and an application or true type font. Does it happen only in certain programs or all? Check the program you are trying to print out of and use the print properties option. Check to see if it allows you to select "use printer font" and uncheck that.

Or try changing to a truetype font for grins ans see of the font size does as expected. TRy Verdana or a script font. Then you'll know the culprit. Also some driver installation for various printers have an option to install printer fonts. I've seen this problem both ways so you might try re-installing the driver and see what happens. I notice this happens most in Adobe programs.

Hope some of this is useful.

Font sizes are a program thing nothing to do with the printer
 Examine your E-mail client set up in the read section[Different E-mail programs different setting ] probably under a heading
Tools/Options and look at how the font sizes are organized.
