printers support two types of fonts:
♦
Bitmapped (traditional printer fonts such as Standard and Reduced)
♦ Scalable (Font 50)
Now, TrueType fonts are available only on the 9840 printer. TrueType
fonts are scalable and the characters print smoothly, without the jagged
edges you see on bitmap fonts. When downloading a TrueType font, you
download the entire font. You cannot specify a subset (particular characters
or point size) of the font.
These font files may be very large and 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 memory.
Your System Administrator may need to reconfigure the printer's memory to
use downloaded TrueType fonts. Refer to the optional Packet Reference
Manual to learn how to reconfigure the printer's memory. After reconfiguring
memory, resend the font, format, and batch packets.
Previously, the printers could accept a TrueType bitmap font that was
converted to a bitmapped file using the Monarch

quick-set Font Utility.
However, you were limited to a particular character set and specific point
size.
About Font 50
Only with version 6.5, font 50 has been replaced with EFF Swiss Bold, a
TrueType font. You can still use 50 as the designator for this font and old
formats using font 50 still print. However, there may be a slight difference in
the way the new font 50 looks. Font 50 now supports bold and italic printing.
