[libreoffice-users] Re: Font is different on Screen and in Print

Steve: "Possibly your printer has that font installed"

Krackedpress:  "Also, some printers have hardware installed fonts."

Thank you gentlemen, that does seem to explain things.  In particular why
the printout didn't match the screen.

I didn't even know modern printers had installed fonts, I thought everything
was WYSIWYG from the application and OS, so if Libre Office substituted
Arial on-screen I was expecting Arial on-paper.  Clearly the printer found a
closer match.

Having now looked into the hardwired fonts issue, I see that the printed
output wasn't actually Corsiva but Zapf Chancery.  Zapf Chancery is also not
on the computer but it is in the printer and is close enough to fool me at a
casual inspection.

Krackedpress: "There use to be an extension that indicated what fonts were
in the document and were not installed on your computer.  I do not know if
it is still available."

I would love to get my hands on a copy of that, if it's still around.  Can
you remember what it was called - so I can start hunting?

Now I just have to identify the alleged benefits of hardwired fonts, and how
to best take advantage of them.

Regards,
