Fontware Installation Kit Typeface Information Missing (67015)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q67015 SUMMARY
If you get the following message when you make fonts
Some typeface information missing. Go to Add/Delete Bitstream
Fontware Typefaces
you have chosen a typeface that the Bitstream Fontware Installation
Kit (FIK) does not find on your system, even though the name is
listed in the Make Fonts windows. This may happen if you have both a
PostScript PDL and non-PostScript PDL printer and you added the
typeface before setting up Fontware support for the PostScript PDL
printer. Choose Add/Delete Bitstream Fontware Typefaces and add the
typeface again. Then make your fonts.
MORE INFORMATION
If you are using the starter kit that is available through the
fulfillment coupon included with PowerPoint, and you attempt to make
PostScript PDL fonts from your free Dutch and Swiss typefaces, you
will get the same error message. Times Roman and Helvetica are
resident on most PostScript PDL printers; the files needed for Dutch
and Swiss PostScript PDL fonts are not shipped with the starter kit.
Either purchase Bitstream Scalable Typeface Packages for Dutch and
Swiss or select Times Roman and Helvetica in your Windows application.
A Bitstream Fontware Installation Kit is available through a
fulfillment coupon included with the retail version of Microsoft
PowerPoint for Windows. This starter kit will install fonts for
Windows applications only; however, the kit can be merged with other
starter kits to provide support for multiple applications as described
above.
