A font is a collection of letters, numbers, and symbols in a distinctive
typographic design. Your Macintosh computer and Color StyleWriter 2500
printer come with a variety of fonts that look great both on your monitor and
on paper.

Fonts come in such a variety of formats that problems can sometimes arise.
This appendix provides the information you need to avoid such problems and
to solve them if they come up.

Kinds of fonts

The Macintosh works with three main kinds of fonts: TrueType, bitmapped,
and PostScript fonts.

Apple provides two kinds of fonts with your Macintosh and the
Color StyleWriter 2500 printer: TrueType and bitmapped. However,
your system can use PostScript fonts as well when it has the proper
software installed.
