  1. Parallels RAS Universal Printing Best Practices

Fonts and font caching

PreviousPrinting settings and defaultsNextAutomated font distribution

Last updated 9 months ago

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.
