Fonts

The following information explains how to use and choose fonts
for a job. It also covers various resident and non-resident fonts
and their availability.

How to choose fonts

Although document source files can specify almost any image on
a printed page, images that contain letters, numbers,
punctuation, and symbols are common enough to require a
special mechanism for dealing with them, similar to movable
type. This mechanism is the font. The DocuSP controller
supports Adobe PostScript Type 1 and Type 3 fonts, PCL
scalable and bitmap fonts, and TrueType fonts.

Fonts

The most important thing to remember is that the font used to
create a document must also be available to the DocuSP
controller.

NOTE: DocuSP supports the euro character. Most font families
include the euro character.

At the DocuSP controller, a font can exist in three forms:

Resident fonts

A resident font is an internal font that is permanently stored on
the DocuSP controller and is always available.

Soft fonts

Soft, or optional, fonts are a typeface that are loaded as needed
at the DocuSP controller. This allows the DocuSP controller to be
customized with special fonts, such as logos, or other special
font applications.
