Tr ue Ty pe and PostScript fonts

PostScript fonts were designed as fonts for PostScript printers. However, if

you have Adobe Type Manager software installed, your computer can both

display and print PostScript fonts.

Use different names: To avoid confusing the printer software, be sure that you

don’t install both TrueType and PostScript versions of the same font. For

example, do not have a PostScript font file called

Times and a TrueType font

file called

Times installed in your system at the same time.

How the Macintosh looks for fonts

Here’s the search order your Macintosh uses to determine which font to

display on your screen when you choose a specific size:

1. an installed bitmapped font in that size, if one exists

2. a scaled TrueType font, if no bitmapped font exists

3. an Adobe Type Manager (ATM) version of a PostScript font, if ATM is

installed and if no TrueType version exists

4. a scaled bitmap if no ATM font exists

Here’s the search order it uses to determine which font to print on your

Color StyleWriter 2400 printer:

1. a scaled TrueType font, if one exists

2. an ATM version of a PostScript font, if ATM is installed and if no

Tr u eTyp e version exists

3. a scaled 72-dpi bitmap if no ATM font exists
