Why do the printed chart wheels have no planet or sign glyphs?
This may happen if you are printing with an HP LaserJet 4 and have an early LaserJet 4 printer driver installed. The problem is in the Windows LaserJet 4 printer driver, not in Solar Fire itself. Here’s how to fix this: Before clicking the Print button, click the Printer Setup button. Then click the Options button. Click the little box next to “Print TrueType as graphics” so that an X shows in the box. Also, in the “Graphics Type” selector box choose “Raster Mode” instead of the HPGL graphics option. Exit the printer setup and click Print. The chart wheel should be OK now. The best solution is to obtain the most recent printer driver for your printer from Hewlett Packard. This is always recommended regardless of the type of problem. Check with HP or your local PC software outlet and find out what the latest driver version is. You can find your existing driver version number by clicking the “About” button in the printer setup dialog box.
