Printer fonts and Mac OS screen fonts
Like all PostScript fonts, the fonts included with the Fiery come in two forms: printer
fonts and screen fonts. The printer fonts are installed on the Fiery hard disk. The
screen fonts, which are included with the Fiery user software, should be installed on
your Mac OS computer. If you are using these fonts in documents you print on a
LaserWriter, they are probably already installed. If not, you must install them.
For instructions, see the User Software Installation Guide.
Occasionally, you may want to use Adobe Type 1 (Windows) or PostScript (Mac OS)
fonts that are not included with the Fiery. If so, you must install both the screen fonts
and the printer fonts on your computer. To do this, follow the instructions from the
font manufacturer.
Downloading printer fonts to the Fiery
In general, each time you print from within a Mac OS application, the application
automatically downloads any fonts used in your document that are not already
installed on the Fiery, as long as the printer fonts are installed in your System Folder.
These fonts remain in the Fiery only until your document has printed. If you print the
same document again, your application must download the fonts again.
If you regularly use one or more fonts from Windows or Mac OS applications that are
not already installed in the Fiery, you can save time by downloading them to the Fiery
hard disk with Fiery Downloader. Fonts you download to the Fiery hard disk remain
installed until you remove them using Fiery Downloader, no matter how many times
the Fiery is turned off and on. Consider downloading fonts you use on a regular basis
to the Fiery hard disk.
Before you download PostScript, TIFF, or EPS files with Fiery Downloader, make sure
all fonts included in your file are installed on the Fiery or embedded in your file;
otherwise, the text in these fonts will not print correctly and may not print at all.
For PDF files, font substitution occurs automatically for fonts not installed on the
Fiery. Two multiple master fonts (a serif font and a sans serif font) stored on the Fiery
are used exclusively for substitution with PDF files.
