Once in a while I am asked why the euro sign is not printed or how to print in a non western codepage like latin2 (EBCDIC codepage 870) or even cyrillic.

Some very old printers do not contain the euro character in the resident fonts and non western codepages are not even known by the printer (or Acrobat Reader when we are talking PDF output).

But it is actually possible to create this kind of output anyway. You just need to install a True Type Font in InterForm400 and use that.

I have created a movie to show you exactly how that is done and how you can verify the output. The whole installation of the True Type Font, setup and test (also of the designer) is done in under 15 minutes.

You can watch the movie here.

You can also use this video, if you want to use a very special True Type Font (e.g. Verdana) for PCL and PDF output.
