Apple Color StyleWriter 2200 - Manual (Page 109)

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 2200 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 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.
QuickDraw GX imaging technology
A QuickDraw GX font is a TrueType or PostScript font with an additional set
of sophisticated features. These features include extremely accurate
typographic elements such as ligatures and kerning, plus the ability to skew,
rotate, and add perspective to text in extremely flexible ways.
