Problem

Symptoms: In the 5.1 PTR program, what is the difference between sharable and non-sharable font libraries, and why can't we copy from a non-sharable to a sharable. This is needed when Bitstream has created fonts into a non-sharable library named after the printer, and you want to separate them by font typeface. Why can't we create a library, then copy from the Bitstream library to the new library? Solutions: This is working as designed. You can copy from sharable to non-sharable and vice-versa but you cannot copy from sharable to sharable or non-share to non-share. There is a way around this however. If you are creating new libraries, simply make them sharable and then fonts from a non-sharable library can be copied to them. The same goes for going the opposite. To copy from sharable to sharable you will need to create a temporary non-sharable library and copy to it first, then out to the destination sharable library. You should enter an enhancement request if you would like to see it changed.
