WD: TrueType Text Bleeds Through Drawing Objects When Printed (133878)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q133878 SYMPTOMS
If a shaded drawing object is superimposed over text formatted with
TrueType fonts, the text may "bleed through" the drawing object when
printed to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 4 PCL printer if the "TrueType
as Graphics" or "Download TrueType as Bitmap Soft Fonts" printing option is
turned on.
CAUSESTATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
WORKAROUND
Method 1: Turn off the "TrueType as Graphics" or "Download TrueType as
Bitmap Soft Fonts" printing options.
Method 2: Use an HP LaserJet III printer driver.
Method 3: Format the document using a font other than Times New Roman,
Courier New, Symbol, or Arial.
MORE INFORMATION
The HP LaserJet has some standard TrueType fonts build into the printer.
The problem occurs only when you use one of these built-in TrueType fonts.
These fonts include Times New Roman, Courier New, Symbol, and Arial.
Because the HP LaserJet III does not have built-in TrueType fonts, this
problem does not occur with this printer driver.
This problem does not occur when you run Word with Windows NT.
