PostScript fonts

PostScript is a page-description language that defines the characters, symbols,

and images that appear on each page of a document. A PostScript font comes

as a pair of fonts: an outline font for the printer and a corresponding

bitmapped font for displaying type on your screen.

No bitmapped font, no menu entry: If your system doesn’t have the bitmapped

font, the PostScript font name won’t appear in your font menu.

Certain printers are designed specifically to work with PostScript fonts.

While your StyleWriter 1200 is not a PostScript printer, it can use PostScript

fonts if you have Adobe

™

Typ e Ma nager software installed. Adobe Type

Manager uses printer fonts to generate clean-looking screen text at any size.

(This software is included with system software version 7.5. It is available

from your local Apple-authorized reseller for version 7.1.)

IMPORTANT

Adobe Type Manager is not an Apple product. It is made and

supported by Adobe Systems Incorporated. Only the version that comes with

Apple Macintosh system software version 7.5 is supported by Apple.

PostScript printer fonts have no numbers associated with their names,

because a single font can be scaled to any size. Many companies make

PostScript fonts; the following illustration shows icons for Adobe, Bitstream,

and Fontek PostScript fonts, plus a generic PostScript font icon.

QuickDraw GX imaging technology

A QuickDraw GX font is a TrueType or PostScript font with an additional set

of sophisticated features. These features include extremely accurate

typographic elements such as ligatures and kerning, plus the ability to skew,

rotate, and add perspective to text in extremely flexible ways.
