Years ago when I was using Windows there are several fonts always have a printer symbol with them, if I use these fonts, says the Windows manual, they are printed using the font installed in the printer. These fonts are usable in almost all applications, e.g. Word Pad (before was "writer") and MS Word. My impression was, using the fonts installed on the printer would result faster printing and use less memory. My office LaserJet also has several embedded fonts, can I use them in OpenOffice and Firefox? How? I googled but "embedded printer fonts" always gets me articles on how to embed fonts into PS file or PDF file so they can be properly printed in any printer, which is a separate topic.
