ProcedureHow to Install Downloaded PostScript Fonts

  1. Log in as superuser, lp user, or assume an equivalent role on the print server or print client.

  2. Change directory to the /etc/lp/printers/printer-name directory.


    # cd /etc/lp/printers/printer-name
    

    The variable printer-name specifies the name of the printer on which you want to install downloaded PostScript fonts.

  3. Create the residentfonts file, if this file does not already exist.


    # touch residentfonts
    

    This file might not exist if you are adding permanently downloaded fonts for the first time.

  4. Edit the residentfonts file. Add all the printer-resident fonts and the fonts to be permanently downloaded.
