TrueType fonts follow the TrueType outline font standard. These fonts are
smooth at any point size. There are no jagged edges, because the font is
created from an equation every time it is used. The height and width
magnification are defined in point size. 72 points = one inch.
One inch = cell size. The cell size is the built-in space around the individual
characters of the scalable font. The point size range is 4 to 255. The field
width varies with each letter. The printer can accept downloaded TrueType
fonts.

The MONARCH® MPCL™ Toolbox (Font Utility) is available on our Web site
and converts TrueType fonts to Hex or Run-Length encoding for the printer.
When downloading a TrueType font, you download the entire font, not
particular characters or one point size. You can print a variety of symbol
sets with International (Turkish, Latin, Spanish, etc.) characters. TrueType
fonts are designed to be regionally specific; therefore, all symbol sets may
not be supported in a given font.
These font files are large and may image slower than bitmap fonts. The
size of the font file, in bytes, is the minimum amount of memory you must
have available for fonts in the printer’s downloadable fonts buffer.
You may need to reallocate memory to use downloaded TrueType fonts.
After reallocating memory, resend the font, format, and batch packets. See
“Defining the Memory Configuration Packet” in Chapter 2 for more
information. Also, Chapter 2 lists some special considerations when
defining memory for downloaded TrueType fonts.
