Font substitution

1- 8
NOTE: Refer to your application documentation for more
information on downloading fonts in your document.
If you are using a font in your application that has the same name
as a resident font but is a different version, it must be downloaded
with the job. The Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller will use
the downloaded font rather than the resident font.
NOTE: Marking a font for "permanent" downloading in your
application is not supported.

Optional or soft fonts

Downloading fonts each time you print will increase the size of the
file and result in a longer transmission time. If your print jobs
regularly require a font that is not a resident font, you may request
to have it installed as an optional font at the Xerox FreeFlow Print
Server controller. Your printing organization's font policy should
give you the specific information you need to request a special
font.
A document may require a font that is not available at the Xerox
FreeFlow Print Server controller and has not been downloaded
with the source file. When the requested font is not available, font
substitution will take place.

PostScript fonts

A single default font, set by the System Administrator in the Xerox
FreeFlow Print Server software, will be substituted for any font
requirements that cannot be met at the Print Server controller. A
message will be printed to confirm that a substitution has taken
place.

PCL 5e fonts

Another type of substitution occurs for PCL fonts. If a requested
PCL font is not available, the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server
controller will determine which available font best matches the
requested one and perform the substitution. Any PCL stream that
does not have any fonts specified in the file will have the default
font programmed in the "PCL font" section for the corresponding
queue in Queue Management.
