Font file transfer

[yuriy]

Howdy all,
I've got to transfer a word document (wedding invitation) from my computer via email so I can print out this document on another computer with a laser printer. The only problem is that I need 2 specific fonts which are not installed on the second computer.
I understand that the fonts have to be installed on a computer otherwise it will come up as something completely different.
The second computer has restricted access so I can't physically install any extra font files onto this computer.
My question is, can I attach the font files to the email so that it will read and print out in the required fonts?
Thanks in advance,
yuriy

Re: Font file transfer

No. it will not read the fonts from the email.

The easier workaround is to make a pdf file. Pdf files contain fonts inside them*, so they will print fine in every computer.

(*) Well, not really all fonts... it expects some basic ones to be available on all computers.

Re: Font file transfer

This won't work if he has limited access to the second computer as he said. Nor if that second computer is not running kubuntu .

Note than most modern OSs (Windows included ), you can install fonts as a normal user or system-wide.

Note the OP is probably just spamming the forum, though subtly.
