Printing what is actually typed

[Henry]

Why, when using CG Omega font and typing a word which contains an apostrophy although the typing will be perfect on screen when printed out the following word will be split i.e. three or four letters of it will be printed and then there will be a space bef
ore the other letters.

[Thomas Ferguson]

Are you are using a HP LaserJet?

Compugraphic (Agfa Monotype) CG Omega, very similar to Linotype's Optima, is
printer resident in many HP printers. What _might_ be happening is that the
printer driver, when printing, is substituting the printer-resident version
for the software version of the font used to rasterise the screen. Except,
the text contains a single right single quote being auto-text inserted by MS
Word. The soft font is being used or that.

There are a variety of possible solutions.

1. Delete the smart quote and insert a normal apostrophe. OR
2. Check the printer driver for a setting to not substitute printer fonts or
to print TrueType as graphics. This might decrease printing speed. OR
3. Change the whole document to Optima (if you have it) and make sure the
driver setting will not substitute CG Omega.

I might be wrong in the first instance. In that case, the symptoms describe
a similar problem caused by some printer drivers. In that case, the odd
spacing is usually more wide-spread in the document than you describe. Try
removing the driver, getting the most recent for your printer, install that
and try printing.


Let us know the printer maker and model and someone can provide
better-targeted suggestions.
