How TrueType fonts work with other kinds of fonts
Although TrueType fonts offer distinct advantages, your Color StyleWriter
4500 printer can also use other kinds of fonts.
Tr ueTy pe and bitmapped fonts
Mac OS–based computers running System 7 come with both bitmapped
(screen) fonts and TrueType fonts installed. This maintains consistency with
documents created on Mac OS–based systems that dont have TrueType fonts.
Bitmapped fonts look better displayed on the monitor, while TrueType fonts
look better on a high-resolution printer such as the Color StyleWriter 4500.
So, if you have both versions of the font available, your computer uses the
bitmapped version when displaying the font on the screen (provided that the
size youre using is available) and the TrueType version when printing the font
on the Color StyleWriter 4500. To force the Macintosh to use only TrueType
fonts everywhere, you must remove the bitmapped fonts.
For example, if a document uses 12-point Times
®
, available in that size as a
bitmapped font and as a TrueType font, the system uses the bitmapped font on
the screen and the TrueType font on the printer. If a document uses 4-point
Times, the system scales the TrueType font to that size for both the screen and
the printer, because a bitmapped version isnt available.
