text printing as solid square blocks and rectangles

text printing as solid square blocks and rectangles

(OP)
When printing to hp650 plotter, all of the smaller text is printing as squares and rectangles instead of letters. It seems to only be the smaller text (text in title block, finish callouts, and gdt tolerances). Has anyone else experienced this?

RE: text printing as solid square blocks and rectangles

Have you tried using different printer drivers?

Have you tried using different fonts?

cheers

Actually< i figured this out. THe text that was printing in squared was century gothic. I guess that the 650 plotter could not do this font. I changed the cgothic to arial, and it worked fine..
