Close other open files before printing

Characters on printout are missing or unexpected

These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:

Make sure the fonts are applied correctly in the program

Most programs do not print a stretched or resized font.

Make sure the TrueType font is available on the computer

The font you are trying to print may not be available in the program font selection box. Not all fonts are designed to be printed; make sure the font is a TrueType font. See the program documentation for more information.
