Using Fonts
Many software programs include a Font command that lists the available
fonts. Usually you’ll select the text and apply the font (or include the font as
part of a style definition). See the user’s guide for the program you’re using to
find out how to select fonts for your text.
Buying Fonts
Fonts are included with most software programs and operating systems you
purchase. You can buy additional fonts and install them on your computer,
where they’re stored in your computer’s memory.
You can buy two types of fonts for your computer:
■ TrueType fonts, which are fonts that can be scaled to different sizes and
that look exactly the same on your computer screen and on the printed
page.
■ Type 1, or postscript, fonts (if you’re using a type manager).
