Common questions about fonts

Here are some questions that often come up about fonts.

What kind of fonts should I buy?

Bitmapped fonts are best for screen display but don’t look as good when you

print them. PostScript fonts look great on paper if you have a PostScript

printer or Adobe Type Manager.

Tr ueType fonts are the best all-purpose fonts to use for your Macintosh

monitor and Color StyleWriter 2400 printer. If you need to display fonts with

extremely accurate typographic features such as ligatures and kerning, install

QuickDraw GX on your system and buy QuickDraw GX TrueType fonts.

Why don’t all of my fonts appear in the Fonts menu?

You may not have all of your fonts placed correctly. In system software

version 7.0, bitmapped and TrueType fonts should be in the System file in the

System Folder. In system software versions 7.1 and 7.5, all the fonts should be

installed in the Fonts folder in the System Folder.

Additionally, some application programs let the user decide which fonts

should appear in the Fonts menu. Check the manuals that came with your

programs.

Why can’t I see my Monaco 9, Geneva 9 and 12, and Chicago 12 bitmapped fonts?

These fonts are used by your Macintosh to display information correctly.

Because the Macintosh needs these fonts, the Finder makes them invisible to

prevent users from removing them.
