Gary,
Thanks for the compliments.
Automatic font downloading to a Postscript printer works very well. If
you use a Nimbus Q (that's the format of our fonts, SoftFaces included) or
if you use an Adobe Type 1 in your document, when you tell Final Copy II
Release 2 to print to a Postscript printer, it will automatically download
any and all fonts that are not part of the 'standard' Postscript font.
In other words, Final Copy II Release 2 will download all fonts in a
document that do not start with one of the following: A (Avant-Garde), B
(Bookman), C (Courier), H (Helvetica), P (Palatino), T (Times), and Z
(Zapf-Chancery). (I may have forgotten one or two.)
The only exclusion to this rule is that the CompuGraphic fonts will not
work on your Postscript printer. Instead, the printer will probably
default to Courier.
Well, I tried to over-explain and under-explain this feature. If you
still don't get it, wait till your Release 2 comes in the mail and just
play with it. Just remember, you will NEVER need to use SWDownLoad for
Final Copy II again. Although there might come a time when you'll want it
for something else, so I'd hang on to it.
