The variety and number of built-in fonts (device fonts) differ between Adobe PS and Clone PS.
| PS type | Number of European fonts |
|---|---|
| Adobe PS | 136 fonts |
| Clone PS | 93 fonts |
For license reasons, the device fonts for Adobe PS cannot be handled by Clone PS. Instead, Clone PS is equipped with fonts similar to Adobe device fonts under different names; when an Adobe PS font is specified in the data to be printed, Clone PS will replace it with a similar font.
Use of a substitute font sometimes leads to different printing results, as shown in the table below.
Example 1
| PS type | Helvetica |
|---|---|
| Adobe PS |  |
| Clone PS |  |
| When Helvetica is used in the original document, Clone PS applies a substitute font named NimbusSans-Regular, maintaining almost the same appearance as the original data. |
Example 2
| PS type | LetterGothic |
|---|---|
| Adobe PS |
|
| Clone PS |  |
| When LetterGothic is originally used, Clone PS substitutes it with LetterGothic-Regular. In this case, the character spacing differs from that in the original data. |
Example 3
| PS type | Chicago |
|---|---|
| Adobe PS |
|
| Clone PS |
|
Clone PS does not support alternative fonts for Chicago; instead, the Courier font (*) is used. (The font shape differs significantly from Chicago.) * Since Courier itself is named among the Adobe PS device fonts, Clone PS substitutes it with an alternative font, NimbusMonoPS-Regular. |
Font Change Confirmation Screen
Clone PS itself incorporates no Adobe fonts in it, and therefore replaces them with similar fonts when Adobe PS fonts are specified in the print data output to the printer.
However, there is a possibility that a substitute font not desired by the customer may be used; to cope with this issue, the operation panel shows a confirmation screen whenever an Adobe font is to be replaced by a similar font.
If the customer often prints data containing Adobe fonts that are almost the same in terms of spacing and shape as their substitutes, the confirmation screen appears every time printing is performed, making the printing operation cumbersome. In such a case, the font change confirmation screen can be hidden.
