Container Tags printing gibberish except for Barcode

Issue: Printing Container Tags to PDF prints the Barcode perfect, but all of the other Text lines “sometimes” print gibberish.

Reason: An Arial Font Conflict has occurred.

If you Edit C:\Program Files\AccuZIP6 5.0\iPresort\Reports\TRAYTAGC.LBX, click once on the Top Text Box line, select Format|Font…, you will notice that the “Arial” font is a “Printer” font and NOT a TrueType Font. This occurred because the User installed new Open Type Library fonts that “replaced” the Standard Microsoft “TrueType” fonts. Thus, the Font Conflict.

Resolution: Edit the Container Tag Template and change ALL “Arial” fonts (this is all boxes in header and detail with the exception of the Barcode itself) to a “TrueType” font, like Franklin or Calibri, or any like “TrueType” font.

Resolution (Preferred): Install the Microsoft True Type – Arial Font Family.

"I recently ended probably the most helpful chat ever with your employee Aurora Crouch! She was so extremely thorough and made sure that the install and setup of Accuzip was ready to go. She was also so patient and polite as I fumbled around trying to remember how a PC works! I honestly can't say enough about how amazing and helpful and kind she was! I appreciate her help so very much, she is a great employee and makes it so easy for people like me (who have no idea what they are doing) to get things set up as they need to be. Thank you so much for all of your help and for having someone like Aurora on staff, she is literally a godsend!"
