Apple COLOR STYLEWRITER 2400 - Manual (Page 77)

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.
Certain printers are designed specifically to work with PostScript fonts.
While your Color StyleWriter 2400 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 system software version 7.5. It is available
from your local Apple-authorized reseller for versions 7.0 or 7.1.)
IMPORTANT Adobe Type Manager is not an Apple product. It is made and
supported by Adobe Systems, Inc. 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.
