Evening all,
I wonder if somebody can give me some advice on how best to achieve what I need.
I have a document (100 pages plus) containing runes. I have downloaded and installed the correct runic fonts in Word and on screen, everything is as it shoud be- the right runes are used as and when required.
The problem arises when printing the document. During the printing process, some (but not all) of the runes are converted into Roman letters.

I wonder if somebody can give me some advice on how best to achieve what I need.
I have a document (100 pages plus) containing runes. I have downloaded and installed the correct runic fonts in Word and on screen, everything is as it shoud be- the right runes are used as and when required.
The problem arises when printing the document. During the printing process, some (but not all) of the runes are converted into Roman letters.
My attempt at a solution:convert the Word doc to .pdf. Success, BUT...the file becomes humongous and took nearly 4 hours to print!
I now need to reprint the doc - is there a way of having ALL the runic script in the Word doc printed out correctly without having to revert to converting the file to .pdf?
[OS =XP, uasing Office on a P 4 desktop, Cannon multifunction printer]
Many thanks for any help or advice - Cristina ▲ Collapse

Using Acrobat, you can also save your PDF as a JPG file. That's a quick and dirty solution. I don't know what the printout will look like, but it should work.

p.s. can't think of a good reason why your printer is rejecting the fancy font. Maybe try reinstalling or updating the printer drivers. ▲ Collapse

| Problem with printer-side fonts? | Sep 24, 2004 |
If you're experiencing trouble printing a given font, it may be that your printer only prints with its own installed fonts, regardless of the computer/file designation.
The only practical solution to this is to outline the text (if you're using something like Illustrator) or convert the files to graphics (as suggested above) so that the text is not recognized as a font.
I can't be certain that this is relevant in your case, but dealing with Japanese, Chinese, and Korean... See more If you're experiencing trouble printing a given font, it may be that your printer only prints with its own installed fonts, regardless of the computer/file designation.

I can't be certain that this is relevant in your case, but dealing with Japanese, Chinese, and Korean fonts all day as I do, we experience this problem quite frequently. ▲ Collapse

TOPIC STARTER | Thanks to all | Oct 17, 2004 |
Thanks to all who answered with suggestions - and I apologies for this reply being so late!
I am not sure, exacly *what* worked, but something did and the problem has been resolved. All I know for certain is that the printer fonts were not at the root of the problem. Another one solved!
Thank you
Cristina
