PUB: Rotated Non-TrueType Text May Print Incorrectly (132689)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Publisher for Windows 3.0
This article was previously published under Q132689 SYMPTOMS
If you print a rotated text frame that contains text formatted for a
printer-resident font, it will print with a different font. Therefore, the
text may print outside the margins of the text frame.
This problem also occurs with the Windows 3.x fonts Modern, Roman, and
Script.
This problem does not occur with text using a TrueType font, or text using
fonts from another font-providing software package such as Adobe Type
Manager.
CAUSE
Many printer languages do not support incremental rotation of text. If you
print to one of these printers, Publisher substitutes a TrueType font for
the printer-resident or vector font in the rotated text frame. If there is
a TrueType font that matches your printer font well, the effect will not be
noticeable. If there is not a good match, the effect will be very
noticeable.
If you rotate a text frame that contains printer-resident or Windows vector
fonts, you will see the following message:
This rotated text will print better if you use TrueType
fonts. Look for this TrueType symbol next to the font in
the font selection box.
NOTE: Some printer languages (such as PostScript) do support incremental
rotation of text. This problem won't be apparent when you print to those
printers.
RESOLUTION
If you create a publication in which you plan to use rotated text, do not
use printer-resident fonts or the Windows vector-based fonts.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
