Mac OS: Adobe Morisawa New CID Font Issue

Symptom

The Adobe Morisawa New CID Fonts listed below may not print as expected from Mac OS 8.5, Mac OS 8.6, or Mac OS 9.x. Instead of the print job using the outline font downloaded to the printer, a less elegant looking, jagged bitmap of the font may print.

Beginning with Mac OS 8.5, the LaserWriter driver asks the Open Font Architecture (OFA) for the name of the Font to use in the print job; unfortunately, these Fonts have multiple names and the print job may be built using the wrong one. Thereafter, when the print job is processed by the printer, the font won't be found in the printer and a bitmap of the font will print instead.

Solution

Try one of the following solutions.

• Prior to printing, choose Page Setup from the File menu, choose PostScript Options from the pop-up menu and click "Unlimited Downloadable Fonts" to enable that option.
• Save the file as a PDF, then drag this file to the icon of the Desktop printer.
• In the Print dialog box, choose Save As File from the pop-up menu, then choose All But Standard 13 from the Font Inclusion pop-up menu. Print to a PostScript file, then drag this file to the icon of the Desktop printer.
• Download, install and use Adobe's PostScript driver AdobePS when printing these fonts.
• Obtain and install Adobe's ATM Font when printing these fonts.
