# Fonts and font caching
One of the common printing issues for all universal printing solutions is to create an identical fonts environment for the server and the client.
For the EMF format (Windows only) Parallels RAS Universal Printing is able to extract embedded fonts (or fonts used in a particular document) automatically and then transfer them to Parallels Client allowing it to print documents using the same exact fonts.
Parallels Client can cache fonts installed on a local computer, so it does not have to extract and transfer this data over network on subsequent printouts.
## **Parallels recommends**
Exclude standard operating system fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, etc.). Also exclude fonts that are already present on RD Session Hosts according to the **Fonts Management** settings in the RAS console. To view and modify the settings, open the RAS console and navigate to **Universal Printing** > **Fonts**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-universal-printing-best-practices/v20/parallels-ras-universal-printing-best-practices/fonts-and-font-caching.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
