Please help, font not printing

10/11/2016 às 21:04

I have downloaded at least a half dozen fonts that I have successfully used and printed; however, I cannot get Cornucopia of Ornaments or Cornucopia of Dingbats to print. Both of these files are by Intellecta Designs. The fonts display correctly in word as well as publisher, and appear on the print previews. They just will not print on the actual document. Is this a licensing issue or something a noob could fix with a trial font program? I am just trying to use one ornament out of the whole set(s) for my wedding invitations. I have Windows 8.1 and have tried reinstalling the font and restarting the program to no avail.
Thank you in advance

MissAshley, the problem is probably caused by the embedding settings used by the font author:



Without actually changing the settings with a font editing program, you may be able to produce a printable glyph this way:

1) Open the character map application, (charmap.exe). In earlier versions of Windows, the app itself is located in the System32 folder of the operating system, with a link in the start menu, (Accessories -> System Tools). You won't do any damage to your computer if you open this app directly from the operating system folder.

2) Select the font you want to use from the drop down list box in Character Map.

3) Double click the glyph(s) you want to use, to add them to the clipboard at the bottom of the Character Map app.

4) Select a glyph in the clipboard, and click the Copy button.

5) Paste the glyph into MS Word.

6) Select the pasted glyph, and adjust the point size.

7) Cross your fingers, and print.

This procedure worked some years ago on the Fantasy Clipart font by GemFonts, using Windows XP.

Thanks for such a great reply metaphasebrothel. This was easy to follow and much appreciated. Unfortunately, it still wouldn't print but I'm sure this will help someone later on. Thanks again!
