Fortunately, the computer can use bitmapped fonts in combination with other font formats, reserving bitmaps for the screen and other kinds of fonts for the printer. PostScript fonts PostScript is a page-description language that defines the characters, symbols, and images that appear on each page of a document. A PostScript font comes as a pair of fonts: an outline font for the printer and a corresponding bitmapped font for displaying type on your screen. No bitmapped font, no menu entry: If your system doesn’t have the bitmapped font, the PostScript font name won’t appear in your font menu. Using Fonts With the Color StyleWriter 6500 Certain printers are designed specifically to work with PostScript fonts. While your Color StyleWriter 6500 is not a PostScript printer, it can use PostScript fonts if you have Adobe Type Manager software installed. Adobe Type Manager uses printer fonts to generate clean-looking screen text at any size. (This software is included with some installations of system software 7.5. It is available from your local Apple-authorized dealer for version 7.1.) IMPORTANT Adobe Type Manager is not an Apple product. It is made and supported by Adobe Systems Incorporated. Only the version that comes with Apple Macintosh system software version 7.5 is supported by Apple. PostScript printer fonts have no numbers associated with their names, because a single font can be scaled to any size. Many companies make PostScript fonts; the following illustration shows icons for Adobe, Bitstream, and Fontek PostScript fonts, plus a generic PostScript font icon. How TrueType fonts work with other kinds of fonts Although TrueType fonts offer distinct advantages, your Color StyleWriter 6500 printer can also use other kinds of fonts. TrueType and bitmapped fonts Mac OS computers running System 7 come with both bitmapped (screen) fonts and TrueType fonts installed. This maintains consistency with documents created on Mac OS systems that don’t have TrueType fonts. Appendix B Bitmapped fonts look better displayed on the monitor, while TrueType fonts look better on a high-resolution printer such as the Color StyleWriter 6500. 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 you’re using is available) and the TrueType version when printing the font on the Color StyleWriter 6500. To force the computer 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 isn’t available. Using only TrueType fonts produces a closer match between the appearance of type on the screen and on paper. However, a document you’ve already created with bitmapped fonts will be reformatted with the corresponding TrueType fonts, and line breaks in the document may change. Similarly, if a document is created on a system that has TrueType fonts or Adobe Type Manager software installed, it may have different spacing, kerning, and so on, when opened on a system that doesn’t have TrueType fonts or Adobe Type Manager software. Keeping two font versions available If you have a TrueType version of a font, you don’t need a bitmapped version. However, although keeping both versions of a font takes up more disk space, there are several advantages to doing so. Bitmapped fonts are hand-designed: a graphic artist planned each character in each font to look good on a screen. TrueType fonts are scaled by the computer to match what you request. At smaller point sizes, the bitmaps may appear sharper on the screen. Additionally, scaling fonts takes time—sometimes up to several seconds in slower Mac OS–based computers—but all Mac OS–based computers can display a bitmapped font instantly. Using Fonts With the Color StyleWriter 6500 TrueType and PostScript fonts PostScript fonts were designed as fonts for PostScript printers. The Color StyleWriter 6500 wasn’t designed to use PostScript. 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 computer looks for fonts Here’s the search order your computer 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...
