Re: Win2000 equation operator spacing bug - help

["Deborah Snavely" <dsnavely@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was taught, in a 1994 electronic-publishing class given at Adobe, to
use this approach to guarantee high-quality "WYSIWYG" PDF documents that
are readable across machines and platforms, and have employed it ever
since. It was a cross-platform class. The principle hasn't changed since
2.1.

It's the other end of "embed all fonts" which one sets in Distiller, but
you have to forcefeed the PostScript fonts through a Windows printer
driver (unlike a Mac, which does it automagically), even when you're
working with a PostScript printer (real or virtual).

I do this daily or weekly from within Frame print dialog box, whenever
I'm creating PDF files, to get production results. Dov's note reminds me
that I may be able to set these properties to stay put in the Distiller
print driver (though I've learned not to trust Windoze on such matters).

Exit FrameMaker and make the following two changes: 

Printers=>"Acrobat Distiller" (printer instance)=>Properties
        =>Advanced=>Printing Defaults=>Layout=>Advanced

        In that dialog, Graphic=>TruType Font
        change from "Substitute with Device Font" to "Download as
Softfont"

Printers=>"Acrobat Distiller" (printer instance)=>Properties
        =>General=>Printing Preferences=>Layout=>Advanced

        In that dialog, Graphic=>TruType Font
        change from "Substitute with Device Font" to "Download as
Softfont"

Try again.

The same changes should be made for ALL PostScript driver printer
instances.

Let me know if that fixes the problem for you.
