Hi Tony, If printer font settings works well is highly dependent on the OS you use and which fonts your printer can natively use. If a printer can't handle the font you use the page will be sent as pixel graphic, which is much slower.
Similar things happen if you print to PDF. It depends on the software settings of your PDF writer, but you should have much more possibilities. Depending on your setting, 1 page of pure text can lead to several MByte of PDF size if it is printed as a bitmap. ... If the font you want to use, is installed on your system, you can probably set your writer to "include font" into PDF, which should make the file much smaller and the text search in PDF should work. Print quality should be better too. Some writers can also do "tree shaking <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_shaking>" for characters used in the text. They will only include font-definitions for characters used. If you use several different fonts, this can make an additional impact on PDF size. So I think it's important to have a closer look at your complete setup, instead of changing TW settings alone. Including fonts into TW could be seen as a "redistribution" which is bound to the font-license. So be careful here! That may also be true for publishing content as PDF. Be sure you know the font licensing, if money is involved. have fun! mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
