Ticket Printer Fonts

I'm working on downloading some "Truetype" fonts onto our new Boca printers.  Is there any documentation on how this will interface with Tessitura.  I know that I will need to create a row in t_font and I'm assuming that the ID in t_font will have to match the ID of the font on the printer.  Does it matter that any true fonts that are downloaded to a printer are coded as ttf# (where # = id) as compared with the resident printer fonts which are rtf#?

Thanks!
Dale

  • Hi Dale,

     

    If you’re successful in introducing new fonts, I’d love to know how you did it!

  • Hello,

    Just wondering if anyone has had much luck installing other ticket design fonts in Tessitura and onto BOCA printers?

    Would love to hear from you if you have! :)

    Beau.

  • I would also love to know if anyone has managed to load new fonts on the BOCAs.

    thanks, Dara

  • Hi Dara,

     

    It’s been a while since we looked in to this and, from what we collectively recall, it was very poorly documented and we didn’t succeed in getting any other fonts onto the BOCA printers.

     

     

    Kind regards,

  • Hello, I know this thread has been around awhile but was hoping to understand if anyone had success in loading new fonts to Tessitura/Boca? I have been told by Tessitura we cannot load the Truetype fonts but we can on the Boca side of things. Frustrating! Anyway, anyone have luck out there?
