How to Install Downloaded PostScript Fonts

  1. Log in as superuser, lp, 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
    

    printer-name

    Name of the printer on which you want to install downloaded PostScript fonts. 

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


    # touch residentfonts
    

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

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