Many people are wondering: Are there problems printing fonts under Windows? A valid question – because what good is the most beautiful font if it doesn't get onto the paper?
Please use the ... latest version of FontViewOK!
1. The Problem – That Isn't One
|
| Step | What happens | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Click (printer icon) | FontViewOK prepares the print data | So you can see what you're getting beforehand. |
| 2nd click (Print in preview) | Windows sends it to the printer | Because you have to confirm – security feature |
Print preview is your friend. It prevents you from accidentally printing 100 pages of font tables that you didn't intend. So don't complain, be glad of this lifesaving feature.
4.) This could go wrong (and why it's not due to FontViewOK)
Case 1: The printer does nothing.
Possible cause: Printer off? No paper? No ink?
Solution : Check it. Seriously. 90% of all "problems" are paper jams or empty toner cartridges.
Case 2: Nothing happens after the second click
- Possible cause: Windows has set the wrong printer as the default.
- Solution: Go to the Windows Control Panel → Devices and Printers → Right-click on your printer → "Set as default printer"
Case 3: The print preview shows strange characters
- Possible cause: The font is corrupt or not installed correctly
- Solution: Reinstall the font or try a different font
Case 4: "I don't see a printer icon!"
Possible cause: You have hidden the toolbar or there is another problem
. Solution: Turn on the menu bar (right-click on the toolbar → Customize) or simply press Ctrl + P (that works too).
5.) The secret insider tip (for real pros)
You can also simply press Ctrl + P. That's the universal Print keyboard shortcut in Windows. The print preview will then open directly – and yes, you'll still have to click "Print" there.
6.) The ultimate step-by-step guide for those who want to know exactly how it's done.
1. Start FontViewOK.
2. Select the font(s) you want to print.
3. Take a deep breath.
4. Click the printer icon (it looks like a printer, surprise!).
5. A window will open – this is the print preview.
6. Look at what you're about to print (optional, but nice).
7. Click the "Print"
button in this window. 8. The printer goes "brrrrrrr. "
9. Done. You did it. You're a hero.
7. Summary for those who only want the essentials
- Click the printer icon → Print preview opens
- In the print preview, click "Print" → Printer prints
- That's it. Really.
8.) The famous last sentence (for hanging above the desk)
> "Printing with FontViewOK is not rocket science. It's a two-click process. Click – Preview. Click – Print. That's all it takes."
