Printing generates PostScript data which is sent to the specified printer (or File). The names of fonts differs between the X Window System and PostScript and there is no formula to convert them. The printing system uses a 'font alias' table to convert from X font names to PostScript font names. Font aliases for the common PostScript fonts are predefined but you must supply an alias for unknown fonts. The 'Font Alias' window will be shown when ever you are printing an unknown font. You will be asked to supply a PostScript font name for a X font. This information is saved in internal tables for the next use.
