TICKET ARCHIVE -> Printing Font Book font examples

Is there a way in OS 10.4.11 to print examples of all the fonts in the Font Book like they show in the right panel of the Font Book screen so we can show customers the fonts we have available for their projects?

In Leopard you press ⌘P to do this. I would guess it's the same in the later versions of Tiger also.

⌘P produces nothing. Any other ideas?

Does this mean you don't get any printer dialog box? What version of Font Book are you using?

My printer dialog box looks like this (please type the address manually into your browser):

As you can see there is a very nice preview on the left side of the window of what you can print out.

OK, and I'm using version 2.1.

And there's no "Print" option under the "File" menu when you open Font Book? This may be a feature only present in Leopard:

If so, I don't have any suggestions. There are rumors of a 10.4.12 update being on the way maybe Font Book will be updated too.

Please let me know if you want me to re-open your question for another tech to look at it.
