Known Problems with Fonts for Windows
Problem
- Bank Gothic Light:
the figure 1 is not centered between other numbers.
- MICR and OCR fonts:
Fonts do not print at the correct size on a Hewlett Packard (HP)
LaserJet 4 or above, or compatible printers.
- Humanist Light Italic:
the italic is a slanted version of the roman font, not a true
italic.
- Dutch 801:
roman and bold look the same on screen.
- Venetian 301: the
roman font style from 500 Font CD looks italic.
- Problems with
Microsoft Image Explorer, Microsoft Publisher 2000, and Microsoft
WEFT
Solution
Bitstream fixed these problems with updates to the font. Check
the copyright date of the font you are using. If the latest copyright
date for the font is earlier than the ones listed below, you may have
an older version of the font. Contact

(along with adding the euro currency symbol.)

or a Bitstream reseller, please contact

information.
