Freehand 10 and MX printing problem with TYPE1 fonts

[mphalm]

Help help .. I can't print with Freehand 10 & MX in both system O
10.2.8 and OX 10.3. Created custom Type 1 fonts and instatlled them i
the system 9 font file and in the main library font file. Can print th
fonts in Illustrator and Photoshop CS but, can't get them to print i
Freehand. Everytime I try printing them I get this message "pictwstop
- got an error disposing of document = -43" and nothing prints. I' ca
print the fonts in OS 9. I've upgraded to Freehand MX 11.02. Will
font managing program solve this? Help or suggestions greatl
appreciated - Aloh

I'm having the same problems, but that's because of FontAgent, the font manager
I use (I may switch back to Suitcase just because of this). When FontAgent
activates a font when a document is opened, Freehand will not print. If I
activate manually the font before opening the program, everything prints OK.
Have you installed the fonts in User/library/fonts ?

In Freehand 10 and 11 (not 11.02) we always had to convert fonts to outlines
otherwise they would not print.

We now use Suitcase X1 (11.02) and Freehand 11.02 and fonts now print OK even
if they have been activated after opening Freehand.

I would use Suitcase to manage fonts. By having multiple fonts installed you
could be 'confusing' things!

11.0.2 should cure postcript printing problems with fonts displaying and not
printing - it sorted mine. I also use Suitcase X1 (ver. 11.0.2) and everything
is fine now.

I had similar probs when I upgraded to OS 10.3 and was using Fh10.
