Can I use TrueType fonts with Smart Forms and Zebra printers?

Yes. TrueType fonts can be used with Smart Forms, but only with the CP850 device type. Codepage 850 does not support Central and Eastern European or Asia/Pacific languages, so TrueType fonts cannot be used for labels that require these languages. TrueType fonts can reduce printer performance because of the time they take to download, although the fonts can be stored in Flash memory to save time. Zebra strongly recommends using preloaded, scaleable fonts (such as CG Triumvirate Bold Condensed or Swiss 721). For printing Asia/Pacific languages, users should purchase Zebra’s optional Andale font card. Be sure that you are licensed to download or store TrueType fonts with Zebra printers.
