Font substitution may be critical for output of documents to printing systems that are not well supported by a large font inventory. Standard PostScript fonts are available for substitution. Setting Font Substitution 1 To set font substitution, you must open Printing Preferences outside of a printing application by the following procedure. Depending on your operating system: Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2: click Start > Control Panel > View devices and printers. Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012: open Control Panel > View devices and printers. Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2: click Start > Devices and Printers.

Disable Device Fonts In some cases, the printing system substitutes fonts even if you send the TrueType fonts as outline fonts or bitmap images. Select Disable device fonts to prevent substitution of device fonts for TrueType fonts. This option also improves portability of printable data. (If cleared, device fonts may not match when sent to a different printing system.) Some Adobe applications have device font limitations. To overcome these limitations, select Disable device fonts. Device fonts are normally visible in the application font lists as printer icons next to the font name, unless there are equivalent system fonts, in which case the "TT" TrueType icon remains.
