Subject:Problem with TrueType and PostScript fonts From:"LEHR" <Joerg -dot- Lehr -at- biotronik -dot- de> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com Date:Thu, 13 Apr 2000 08:11:03 MEZ
Hello:
Unexpectedly, a problen with a font (Optima in different
styles) has developed. When using the font for press
from PS files the curves of the characters become
pixeled and edgy. My system displays the font as TT
font although it is a PostScript font administered by
ATM.
On another machine the font is listed (as in WORD for
instance) as PostScript font and the problem doesn't
arise.
1) Has anyone been confronted with this phenomenon,
knows where it comes from and maybe even knows a
solution?
2) Does this have s.th. to do with upgrading to Acrobat
4.05 (German) with the (German) PS Driver 4.3.1
(although, this is the case also on the other machine)
3) How do I manage to have the PostScript-
font employed as such (in case this is part of the
solution)?
