Truetype Font Printing Problems in Microsoft Windows

TrueType font problems in Microsoft Windows:

The procedures below address the following issues:

 TrueType fonts are not installing correctly  Cannot see the font selection after it is installed

Solution(s):

Installation or printing problems may occur in Windows because of the variety of print drivers available and the several different versions of Windows in use today. The following procedure usually corrects font problems in Windows:

1. You may need to reboot Windows before TrueType fonts will work properly in all applications. This is usually because an application or a printing process that the application uses was started before the font was installed. Therefore, the application will substitute a text font instead of using the correct font. 2. Make sure a printer installed is capable of printing graphics, TrueType fonts won't usually work correctly without a default graphics printer. 3. If the fonts are installed and Windows does not shutdown properly, the fonts may need to be installed again as in step 6 below. 4. Windows 95, 98 and ME can have problems with fonts when there are more than 700 or so fonts installed. We recommend 500 fonts or less installed when installing new fonts on these operating systems. 5. If you have installed the font by copying it to the Windows/Fonts folder, you may need to open the font in Control Panel - Fonts to make sure it gets "registered" as a font in the registry. 1. Choose Start - Settings - Control Panel - Fonts. 2. Double click on the font and make sure it appears. You should see a sample of the font and a copyright notice from Solutions in Software Inc. If you do not see this, remove the font and reinstall as in step 6 below. If you do see the font, you may find that it is now correctly registered and should work normally. 6. Sometimes the fonts have to be removed and re-installed before they will work and "register" correctly in Windows. To reinstall TrueType fonts that are having problems: 1. Choose Start - Settings - Control Panel - Fonts 2. Remove the fonts that are not working correctly 3. Reboot 4. Choose Start - Settings - Control Panel - Fonts 5. Choose File - Install New Fonts 6. After the fonts are installed, Reboot again 7. Choose Start - Settings - Control Panel - Fonts 8. Double click on the font and make sure it appears

NOTE: The custom font name is DrumNotePro and the filename is DNP2.ttf.
