What does the term Apple classic fonts mean?
The Apple classic fonts are the original ten bitmapped fonts that came with
the first Macintosh in 1984. These fonts, which all have city names, include
Athens, Cairo (a picture font), Chicago, Geneva, London, Los Angeles,
Monaco, New York, San Francisco, and Venice. Several of the fonts (Athens,
Cairo, London, and San Francisco) came in only one size—18 points.
Chicago, Geneva, Monaco, and New York are currently available in TrueType
versions. The other classic fonts are still only available in bitmapped versions.
Why do I sometimes get Geneva or Courier in my printed documents when I have
specified other fonts?
Geneva sometimes appears when you’re trying to use a TrueType font but
don’t have enough memory for scaling to operate properly.
Substitute fonts can also appear in a document composed on one Mac OS
computer that has a particular set of fonts but printed on another Mac OS
computer that doesn’t have those fonts.
Why does a document written entirely in Times look different on different Mac OS
computers?
Times, an extremely popular font, is manufactured and sold by more than one
company. Such fonts usually have small differences, even though they have the
same name. For example, the Times font manufactured by Adobe Systems
Incorporated has different letterspacing than does the Times font from
Apple Computer.
