Resolving font problems
Have you applied the fonts correctly in the program?
Most programs do not print a stretched or resized font.
Is the font a TrueType font? Is it available on the computer?
The font you are trying to print may not be available in the program font selection box. Not all fonts are designed to
be printed; make sure the font is a TrueType font. See the program documentation for more information.
