LaserWriter IINTX: Use Font Utility 2.0 with Rev 3.0 ROMs



System: LaserWriter IINTX with Rev 3.0 ROMs (PostScript Version 51.8) and
20MB hard drive attached to SCSI port. Apple LaserWriter Font Utility
Version 1.0/ System Software 6.0.5

Problem
-------

When using the Apple Font Utility to download fonts, I downloaded some fonts,
stopped and then restarted the process again in the morning. The Apple Font
Utility did not show any fonts previously downloaded as appearing on the hard
drive. The start-up test page does show that there were 46 fonts available.
The Adobe Font Utility also lists all of the available fonts. Only the Apple
Font Utility doesn't show them.

I then installed another font and it showed as being there, but none of the
others did (this was done without quitting the Apple Font Utility). After
quitting the Apple Font Utility and restarting, the fonts don't show. Adobe's
utility does show the additional font, as does the startup page.

The fonts do print correctly and the LaserWriter goes to the hard drive and
gets the fonts as needed; that is, they DO NOT get downloaded over LocalTalk.


Is there a problem with the Apple LaserWriter Font Utility Version 1.0 and the
new LaserWriter IINTX board? Is there a problem with the 1.0 Font Utility and
System Software 6.0.5?

A new version of the LaserWriter Font Utility ships with the new LaserWriter
IINTX board. If you have the new board, you should be using version 2.0 of
the LaserWriter Font Utility.
