Install the font into the Adobe Font folder.
To do so, open File Explorer on Windows or Finder on Mac. Then navigate to “Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Fonts” on Windows or “~Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts” on Mac. Copy and paste the font file directly into this folder.
In the Font Book app on your Mac, select one or more fonts to export. Choose File > Export, choose where to save the font files, then click Open.
By default, this Auto-activate Adobe Fonts is disabled in InDesign. To enable, select Auto-activate Adobe Fonts from Edit > Preferences > File Handling.
Double-click on the package to unzip the folder and access the files. Step 3: Save the font file or files to your computer and then go to “Control Panel” > “Appearance and Personalization” > “Fonts” and then click on “File” > “Install New Font” to open the “Add Fonts” window.
TTF (True Type Font) is a better choice when you will use it mainly for web design or mobile design on desktop or mobile displays. Or if you work with PowerPoint 2007 (or older) on Windows machine. . OTF (Open Type Font) is a better choice when you`re designing materials for print.
All fonts are stored in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. You can also add fonts by simply dragging font files from the extracted files folder into this folder. Windows will automatically install them. If you want to see what a font looks like, open the Fonts folder, right-click the font file, and then click Preview.
Toggle the Adobe Fonts setting
If the fonts are not active, try turning off the font option in Creative Cloud, wait a moment, and then turn it back on. Open the menu from the gear icon at the top of Creative Cloud desktop. Choose Services, and then toggle Adobe Fonts to turn it off and back on.
In the toolbox, double-click the Eyedropper tool. Choose Character Settings or Paragraph Settings in the Eyedropper Options dialog box. Select the attributes you want to copy with the Eyedropper tool, and then click OK.
Current User: Fonts are available only to you and are located in the Fonts folder in your home Library (~/Library/Fonts/). To see your home Library folder, click the Finder icon in the Dock, then press and hold the Option key while you choose Go > Library.
Most existing font license agreements – including the standard EULA for the Adobe Type Library and Font Folio – do not cover sending font files to third parties, unless that third party has their own license to the same font.
Click NEW. Give it a name you`ll remember like `Outline Everything`. Check the box for CONVERT ALL TEXT TO OUTLINES and hit OK to save that preset. Now when you go to export your PDF, in the export options, go to ADVANCED and choose your `Outline Everything` preset from the `Transparency Flattener` dropdown menu.

Print file sent but no printing occurs
ANSWER : Been working on these since they first were released. Never seen a problem like yours. If it happens again, try doing an engine test, as it bypasses the formatter board. The engine test is located at the right side of the manual tray opening. Look for a hole in the side wall. Stick something like a paper clip into it to actuate the test button. It will then print a lined test page. If it does that, then it points to the formatter board as the cause of your problem.

Prints blank pages, won't print from computer
ANSWER : Don’t know why you replaced the fuser, but assuming you had print before, then it must have been something you did during the procedure. Only thing I can suggest is to recheck your work. Just because you reinstalled a connector doesn’t mean that it is seated firmly enough to work. Any flat ribbon connectors that you removed and reinstalled, check to see that the contacts are all flat and not peeled back.

Paper feeds straight through without printing on an Epson R2400
ANSWER : I was able to get it to print the internal test page by holding down the sheet paper feed button while turning the machine on — then continuing to hold the sheet paper feed button. It took several attempts, feeding a page straight through, but eventually it caught the sheet and printed. So it may be a timing issue as others have mentioned. It could still mean that the feed rollers are worn out. The back side of the large D-shaped feed roller has visible abrasion on it. The abrasion is difficult to see as the roller does not stay with the flat side exposed.

My printing come out blurred
ANSWER : doris…There are usually 2 reasons for blurry output on this printer. First, make sure that the alignment is correct. You can get to it from the maintenance tab on the software that came with the printer. The other common cause of blurring is debris under the printhead. Hope this helps.
