What is font substitution?
Font Substitution, which isn’t available for your StyleWriter 1200 printer, is an
option in the Page Setup dialog box for certain PostScript printers. When font
substitution is turned on, these printers will use their built-in equivalents for
three bitmapped fonts (Times for New York, Helvetica for Geneva, and
Courier for Monaco).
What’s a downloadable font?
A downloadable font is a TrueType or PostScript font sent to an “intelligent”
printer by your system software. (An intelligent printer is one that has a
microprocessor built into it.) The printer then uses the font to print your
document.
If a printer has sufficient memory, it can hold more than one downloaded
font; otherwise, it must request the fonts it needs as necessary. This can be a
time-consuming process.
Some printers have hard disks attached to them for holding downloaded fonts.
A printer can get the fonts from its hard disk more quickly than it can
download them from the computer’s hard disk.
Your StyleWriter 1200 printer cannot receive downloaded fonts. Instead, your
Macintosh composes the entire image and then sends it to your StyleWriter
1200 for printing.
