Inside one of these labels are barcodes and text. In one particular instance, the text in the label is Cyrillic. When I send the file to the printer (a Canon 6780 - but I would have the same issue on other printers) , the barcode is printed - but the Cyrillic goes through as garbage. What I need to do is tell the printers what fonts to use for the PCL (maybe by sending soft fonts to the printer prior to sending the PCL file. The printer I am sending it to does not have resident fonts. Can anyone make a suggestion on the best way of doing this? I have attached an example PCL file. Many Thanks, Ian Collins Attached Thumbnails Last edited by bagpussnz; 08-28-2013 at 11:11 PM. Reason: missed printer type
