Using QuickDraw GX utilities
The QuickDraw GX utilities provide additional capabilities for working with
printers and fonts.
To install the utilities, see Appendix A (“Using the Custom Install Option”)
later in this book.
m
LaserWriter Utility is an updated version of a utility that comes with Apple
LaserWriters.
m
Paper Type Editor allows you to create and edit the paper type for Apple
printers.

QuickDraw GX Helper (when it is installed in your Extensions Folder) allows
you to temporarily turn off QuickDraw GX printing for an application
program.
To turn off QuickDraw GX printing, launch the application program. Then
open the Apple (K) menu and choose “Turn desktop printing off.” You can
still use the desktop printer icons to print, but documents print using a
non-GX printer driver. To turn QuickDraw GX printing back on, choose
“Turn desktop printing on.”
m
Type 1 Enabler makes your Type 1 fonts work with QuickDraw GX. For
instructions, see the following section (“Using Type 1 Fonts with
QuickDraw GX”).
Using Type 1 fonts with QuickDraw GX
Type 1 PostScript fonts must be enabled in order to work with QuickDraw
GX. “Enabling” makes your fonts work with QuickDraw GX. It does not
affect the font outlines, design, or metrics.
Any Type 1 fonts already installed in your System Folder are automatically
enabled when you install QuickDraw GX. If you install additional Type 1
fonts, you need to enable them by using special utility software located on the
QuickDraw GX disks.
To install the software you use to enable Type 1 fonts, use the Installer to
install the QuickDraw GX utilities. For instructions, see Appendix A (“Using
the Custom Install Option”) later in this book.
