System Guide Fonts
Common Controller 7-7
If you expect to create a document using fonts that are
available on your workstation but not available at the DocuSP
controller, your application may automatically download the
font when the job is sent to the printer. Fonts downloaded in
this manner are considered "temporary" and are deleted from
the DocuSP controller as soon as the job is printed.
NOTE: Refer to your application documentation for more
information on downloading fonts in your document.
If you are using a font in your application that has the same
name as a resident font but is a different version, it must be
downloaded with the job. The DocuSP controller will use the
downloaded font rather than the resident font.
NOTE: Marking a font for "permanent" downloading in your
application is not supported.
• Optional or soft fonts
Downloading fonts each time you print will increase the size
of the file and result in a longer transmission time. If your print
jobs regularly require a font that is not a resident font, you
may request to have it installed as an optional font at the
DocuSP controller. Your printing organization's font policy
should give you the specific information you need to request
a special font.
Font substitution
A document may require a font that is not available at the
DocuSP controller and has not been downloaded with the source
file. When the requested font is not available, font substitution
will take place.
PostScript fonts
A single default font, set by the System Administrator in the
DocuSP software, will be substituted for any font requirements
that cannot be met at the DocuSP controller. A message will be
printed to confirm that a substitution has taken place.
