How do I manually download the Mathematica fonts to a PostScript printer?

You can download any or all of the Mathematica® Type1 fonts to a PostScript printer as part of a print job using the lpr command. However, the fonts included with the main distribution will be deleted from the printer's memory after the print jobs are finished.

Mathematica 4.2

/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/4.2/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1/Math*.pfa

Mathematica 4.1

/usr/local/mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1/Math*.pfa

There is a new version of these fonts available at the following URLs.

Mathematica 4.2
http://support.wolfram.com/archive/mathematica/files/MathT1_42.tar.gz
Mathematica 4.1
http://support.wolfram.com/archive/mathematica/files/MathT1.tar.Z

Follow these commands to download the Math fonts to your current printer.

Mathematica 4.2
gzip -d ./MathT1_42.tar.gz tar xvf ./MathT1_42.tar cd ./Type1 lpr ./*.pfa
Mathematica 4.1
uncompress ./MathT1.tar.Z tar xvf ./MathT1.tar cd ./MathT1 lpr ./*.pfa

These fonts will be saved in your printer’s memory until the printer is restarted. Once you have downloaded the fonts to a PostScript printer, the fonts will work for any print job regardless of the type of computer sending it.

If you are printing to an Apple LaserWriter that has an Apple-formatted hard disk for storing fonts, you might find it easier to download the Macintosh version of the fonts.

If you are having a problem with the fonts not being rendered in graphics and you don't have the memory in your PostScript printer to download fonts, the following page addresses how to solve this problem.

If you are not using any special typesetting features, you might want to see the page on generating graphics that do not require the fonts.
