Type 1 fonts

The Elite XL is compatible with Type 1 fonts. When using Adobe Type
Manager

®

(ATM

®

), these PostScript language outline fonts appear crisp and

smooth on the computer screen, as well as the printed output. ATM is also used
to create bitmapped font data at any size from the Type 1 fonts. For more
information on adding and removing Type 1 fonts, refer to Adobe’s documenta-
tion.

TrueType fonts

The Elite XL is compatible with TrueType fonts. TrueType is an advanced font
technology that produces high-quality output on the screen as well as on
printed output.

Macintosh

If you are using a TrueType font that is equivalent to an Elite XL resident font,
the Elite XL automatically uses the resident font rather than downloading the
TrueType font. If you are using a TrueType font that is not equivalent to an
Elite XL resident font, the TrueType font is automatically downloaded.

Windows

TrueType fonts are automatically installed with Windows and are set to automati-
cally download by default. Refer to the Windows documentation for more informa-
tion.
