A font is a collection of letters, numbers, and symbols in a distinctive
typographic design. Your Macintosh computer and StyleWriter 1200 printer
come with a variety of fonts that look great both on your monitor and on
paper.
Fonts come in such a variety of formats that problems can sometimes arise.
This appendix provides the information you need to avoid such problems and
to solve them if they come up.
Kinds of fonts
The Macintosh works with three main kinds of fonts: TrueType, bitmapped,
and PostScript
™
fonts.
Apple provides two kinds of fonts with your Macintosh and the
StyleWriter 1200 printer: TrueType and bitmapped. However, your system can
use PostScript fonts as well when it has the proper software installed.
