Workaround
Authored by: theilgaard on Sep 07, '03 07:44:44AM

I have got the same explanation as crunchyfrog, however I can add a little to the workaround.

The problem only occours on printers that has Arial and Times New Roman built in. If you printer does not have these fonts, they will be downloaded to the printer when printing, and you will not see the problem.

Workaround:

1. Get the new versions of the fonts, as describet by crunchyfrog.

2. Get the Agfa versions that is delivered with other laser printers (such as Lexmark).

3. Change the ppd-file for your printer to not contain a description of Arial and Times New Roman. Typically 2 lines of printer font descriptions should be removed.

My guess about the problem showing up in a FrameMaker job, must be because this person does not use the FrameMakerPDFWriter printer (which uses the Acrobat Destiller ppd, that does not have Arial and Times New Roman described).
