WARNING!
Windows GDI does not understand bitmap fonts. If the application contains bitmap
fonts, Windows passes the information to the driver. It is up to the printer driver to
provide a solution to managing the fonts.
Note also that bitmap fonts will not appear in the Font List if a GDI printer driver
is selected. Refer to Chapter 20, ‘Using the Font List function’ of the Paris
Designer Reference Manual and ‘Adding a font to the font list’ in Chapter 11 of
the Paris Designer User’s Manual.
