    Understanding Fonts Typefaces and fonts Bitmapped and Scalable Fonts Resident Fonts Symbol Sets Typefaces and fonts A font is a set of characters and symbols created with a distinct design. The distinct design is called a typeface. The typefaces you select add personality to a document. Well-chosen typefaces make a document easier to read. The printer has numerous resident fonts in PCL 6.
  • Page 109: Bitmapped And Scalable Fonts

    In proportional (or typographic) fonts, every character can have a different width. Since proportional fonts have characters with different widths, the font size is specified in point size, not pitch. Point size refers to the height of the characters in the font.
  • Page 110: Resident Fonts

    Bitmapped fonts are available in different type styles and point sizes as downloadable fonts. Contact the place where you bought your printer for more information about downloadable fonts. Scalable fonts (also called outline fonts) are stored as computer programs that define the outlines of the characters in the font.
