PrintPostScript.TrueTypeToType1

Property TrueTypeToType1 As Boolean

Description

The TrueTypeToType1 property controls the download of TrueType fonts to a PostScript printer. TrueType fonts are converted to Type 1 fonts so that they can be downloaded. If fonts are not downloaded to the printer (and they are not already installed on the printer), the fonts print as curves or bitmaps.

VBA example

The following VBA example creates text strings in different fonts and then prints them. The fonts are downloaded to the printer (if PostScript), and the document is printed again.

Sub Test()

Dim s As Shape

Dim n As Integer

Dim dLeft As Double

Dim dBottom As Double

dLeft = 0.25

dBottom = ActivePage.SizeHeight - 0.4

For n = 1 To FontList.Count Step 5

Set s = ActiveLayer.CreateArtisticText(dLeft, dBottom, "Some Text String")

s.Text.FontProperties.Name = FontList(n)

dBottom = dBottom - 0.4

Next n

With ActiveDocument

.PrintSettings.PostScript.DownloadType1 = False

.PrintSettings.PostScript.TrueTypeToType1 = False

.PrintOut

.PrintSettings.PostScript.DownloadType1 = True

.PrintSettings.PostScript.TrueTypeToType1 = True

.PrintOut

End With

End Sub
