Using FreeHand 11.0.2 and Mac OS 10.5.6, some fonts weren't printing for me to
my HP LaserJet 4100n. Printing to PDF via Distiller 9 or the system usually
worked OK. After trying many different experiments (i.e. tearing my hair out),
I came upon something that worked. I put the fonts I wanted into the
/Library/Fonts folder. The permissions of those fonts were set to:
me = read and write
staff = read only
everyone = read only
I opened the info window for those fonts, unlocked the padlock, and changed
the permissions to:
me = read and write
admin = read only (this had to me manually added using the "+" sign
everyone = read only
I deleted the permissions for "staff", though I'm not certain this was
required. Locked the padlock, closed the info window, and so far they are
printing happily. It's important that all of the permissions for the system be
set correctly, so using Disk Utility to verify and repair them is also a good
idea. That won't fix the permissions for an individual font file, so you have
to do it manually.
