The 8 fonts are: AntiqueOlive AntiqueOlive-Bold AntiqueOlive-Italic LetterGothic LetterGothic-Bold LetterGothic-Italic Marigold Univers-Bold Your printer defaults to the forward compatibility mode and the Lexmark PostScript driver uses this mode. For backward compatibility with the Lexmark Optra S family of printers, use the latest version of the Lexmark Optra S driver which sends the PostScript command to switch to backward compatibility mode. (The original Lexmark Optra S driver does not send this command.) See Table 4-4 to determine which Lexmark Optra S driver you should use.

PostScript
4-9
PostScript emulation also has a
backward compatibility mode
that changes the
metrics of 8 of the resident fonts to match the fonts in the Lexmark Optra S family of
printers. The 8 fonts are:
Your printer defaults to the forward compatibility mode and the Lexmark PostScript
driver uses this mode. For backward compatibility with the Lexmark Optra S family of
printers, use the latest version of the Lexmark Optra S driver which sends the
PostScript command to switch to backward compatibility mode. (The original Lexmark
Optra S driver does not send this command.)
See Table 4-4 to determine which Lexmark Optra S driver you should use.
The PostScript commands to switch the compatibility modes are:
Forward compatibility:
Backward compatibility:
With the appropriate printer driver installed and selected, your software application
enumerates and selects the available PostScript fonts.
