1. Re: OCR A font
Dov Isaacs Feb 1, 2010 3:51 PM (in response to dalewix)Adobe does indeed license an OCR A font. See http://store4.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-US&event=displayFontPackage &code=1501 for the OpenType version or http://store4.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-US&event=displayFont&code=O CRA10006000 and http://store4.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/index.cfm?store=OLS-US&event=displayFont&code=O CRA11005000 for the more obsolete Type 1 versions of the font.
Typically, these days we don't "load a font to a PostScript printer" but rather, install the font on your host computer and let your application send the font within the PostScript generated by the system's PostScript driver.

2. Re: OCR A font
dalewix Feb 5, 2010 9:01 AM (in response to Dov Isaacs)Dov,
Thanks,
I bought the OCR A font from Adobe, and installed in on a computer here, my postscript file is still not finding font
/OCRAStd findfont 12 scalefont setfont } def
Is the command I am using in postscript file to set font.
I even load ATM 4.1 on machine.
Microsoft Word sees the font.
Am I missing something
Thanks,
Dale Wicks

3. Re: OCR A font
Dov Isaacs Feb 5, 2010 10:26 AM (in response to dalewix)Is a driver producing the PostScript? If so, then it should be downloaded a part of the generated PostScript.
If you are hand-crafting such PostScript and getting it to the printer some other way, you will need to get the font into your PostScript stream.

4. Re: OCR A font
dalewix Feb 8, 2010 11:22 AM (in response to Dov Isaacs)Our applications sends postscript file raw to printer, bypassing the driver.
How does one get the font into the postscript stream?
Alternative would be to load on printer?
