SYMPTOMS
========

When you are printing a document that contains a read-only embedded font that is
not listed as an installed font in the Fonts folder, Windows NT uses a
substitute font if the printer is set to use NT EMF 1.003 mode. Windows NT
prints the font correctly in RAW mode.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this behavior, use RAW format to print jobs using embedded
read-only fonts. To change to RAW format, follow these steps:

1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Printers.

2. Use the right mouse button to click the printer you are using, and then click
  Properties on the menu that appears.

3. On the General tab, click Print Processor.

4. In the Default Data Type box, click RAW, and then click OK.

STATUS
======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
