Printing text

When you print text, you may find that some of the fonts you used are not available on your PostScript printer. This will mean some of your text will come out in the wrong font. Also some printers cannot print colored text. This is a printer problem and not a Xara LX fault.

To solve these problems, you can convert text to simple shapes before it sends it to the printer. By doing this, the printer does not need the font installed.

To print text as shapes

Either:

right click on a text object to open the text pop-up menu and select Print Text As Shapes. You can do this for each text object individually.

or in the Output Options, select the Print All Text As Shapes option. This applies to all text objects in the document.

Tip

As your text is printing as shapes rather than text, it may not look as good if the text is small.
