You can add additional capabilities by installing the QuickDraw GX utilities.
m
LaserWriter Utility is used for downloading fonts to a LaserWriter printer,
resetting a printer, printing PostScript files, and setting other printer
options.
m
Paper Type Editor allows you to create and edit the paper type for
Apple printers.
m
QuickDraw GX Helper is a system extension that allows you to temporarily
turn off QuickDraw GX printing for an application program.
To turn off QuickDraw GX printing, launch the application program. Then
open the Apple (K) menu and choose “Turn desktop printing off.” You can
still use the desktop printer icons to print, but documents print without
QuickDraw GX. To turn QuickDraw GX printing back on, choose “Turn
desktop printing on.”
m
Type 1 Enabler makes your Type 1 PostScript fonts work with QuickDraw
GX. For instructions, see “Using Type 1 Fonts With QuickDraw GX,” next.
You use the custom installation process to install the QuickDraw GX utilities.
Follow the instructions in “Installing a Customized System” in “Step 4:
Install the Software” in Chapter 1 to install just the QuickDraw GX
Utilities package.
Using Type 1 fonts with QuickDraw GX
Type 1 PostScript fonts must be enabled in order to work with QuickDraw
GX. “Enabling” makes your fonts work with QuickDraw GX. It does not
affect the font outlines, design, or metrics. All your enabled fonts can still be
used without QuickDraw GX.
Any Type 1 fonts already installed in your System Folder are automatically
enabled when you install QuickDraw GX. If you install additional Type 1
fonts, you need to enable them with the Type 1 Enabler, one of the utilities in
the QuickDraw GX Utilities package. Follow the instructions in “Installing a
Customized System” in “Step 4: Install the Software” in Chapter 1 to install
the QuickDraw GX Utilities package and the Type 1 Enabler.
