93
A font is a collection of letters, numbers, and symbols in a distinctive
typographic design. Your Mac OS–based computer and Color StyleWriter
4500 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 Mac OS–based computer works with three main kinds of fonts:
TrueType, bitmapped, and PostScript fonts.
Two kinds of fonts come with your computer and the Color StyleWriter 4500
printer: TrueType and bitmapped. However, your system can use PostScript
fonts as well when it has the proper software installed.
