Re: Colours in PDF files no longer displayed after conversion to Windows 2000

[Dov Isaacs <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, if the driver instance for your LaserJet 8100 "likes" the
fonts, but the Acrobat Distiller printer driver instance doesn't,
it is a very clear sign that in fact, you probably don't actually
have the New Century Schoolbook and Helvetica fonts installed on
your computer. In other words, they are probably only printer-resident
for you. That is EXACTLY one of the reasons why we insist that you
use the Acrobat Distiller printer driver instance for producing
PDF AND that we recommend the hacks to edit the PPD files to eliminate
all the fonts (except Courier)!

>And thank you Ingvar for bringing up the subject in the first place. I've learned a lot. I do have one remaining question regarding fonts and color. In our documents we use New Century Schoolbook and Helvetica fonts. The Acrobat Distiller print driver doesn't like our choices. If we use the print driver with our printer, (HP 8100), then we get our fonts, but not color. We want both.
