Typeface
Typeface refers to the design of the characters and symbols. The
following figure shows an example of some typefaces.
Stroke Weight
Stroke weight refers to the thickness of the print. There are light,
medium, and bold stroke weights. The printer function has medium
and bold fonts available. The figure below shows an example of
medium and bold printing.
Style
Style refers to the shape of the characters. The printer function can
print in two styles: upright and italic.
With some fonts, like CourierPS and Letter Gothic, the terms
“Oblique” and “Slanted” are used in the same manner as italics.
Point Size
Point size refers to the height of the character. Character size
is measured in points. One inch is divided into 72 points and 1
point is 1/72 of an inch (about 0.35 mm). The printer function has
bitmapped fonts and scalable fonts available. The bitmapped fonts
are fixed in size, but the scalable fonts are not fixed in size. Scalable
fonts are freely scalable to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments.
The following figure shows an example of various point sizes.
See “Fonts and Scalable Fonts,” on p. 11-54, for more information on
bitmapped fonts and scalable fonts.
