Problem

Symptoms: A customer is switching from an HP LaserJet Series II printer to an HP LaserJet Series III printer. He has standardized all his documents on the New Century Schoolbook font created by Bitstream. Documents that were created with the previous printer using the New Century Schoolbook font, are being converted to CG Times when the documents are brought into WP51, and the HP LaserJet Series III is selected. However, when he creates a new document in WP51 with the HP LaserJet III printer selected, he is able to utilize the New Century Schoolbook font without any problems. Solutions: The fonts are not the same between the HP II and HP III printer. On the HP II printer, the New Century Schoolbook fonts are marked as Exaggerated, Transitional, and Ball Serifs, with a weight of Normal. The HP III Schoolbook fonts are marked as Hairline serif only, and a weight of Light. WP is choosing an HP III CG Times font for the HP II Schoolbook fonts because they are closer in typeface descriptions (Serifs-Transitional, Ball; Weight -Normal). WP is doing the proper conversion, but the problem is with the font descriptions. Since those descriptions are written by Bitstream, the customer needs to contact Bitstream. WP does not have any control over this.
