Differences in screen fonts not appearing in printed or pdf docs

[Rod Fee]

Hi guys,

 

I have written a book, an experimental academic novel,  in Framemaker
10.0.2.419 which has three frames per page and in each I use a slightly
different font and want to preserve that.

 

The three fonts I am using are:

 

Garamond Opentype

Adobe Garamond Pro Opentype

Bembo Truetype

 

On the screen these three fonts are clearly identifiable as different to one
another.

 

When I:

 

a.       save to pdf and view on the screen; or

b.      print to my printer from the pdf; or

c.       print to my printer from the native FM files 

 

the difference in fonts becomes minimal to the extent that I cannot tell
them apart.

 

I am thinking that it is not a printer driver issue because of the pdf
experience.

 

My OS is Windows 8

My Printer is a Brother HL-2270DW series b&w laser printer 

 

Any hints/clues/advice/help would be appreciated.

 

If there is another alternative series of three fonts that are very close
but visibly subtly different anyone can suggest I would also appreciate such
advice.

 

The reason I am wanting to use different fonts is that in the final chapter
of the work, the fonts are nixed depending on which of the three layers of
narrative they  originate from and I want to make that clear to a discerning
reader without making it look too varied and ruin the reading flow.

 

Kind regards,
