Avoid bitmapped fonts that don’t have TrueType versions because they print with jagged edges on the Color StyleWriter 2500. By contrast, TrueType fonts work well, even if you don’t have a bitmapped version. If you have a PostScript printer or Adobe Type Manager, PostScript fonts look great on paper. The Color StyleWriter 2500 is not a PostScript printer. People who need professional typographic features such as swash characters and proportional space numerals might also consider using QuickDraw GX and QuickDraw GX TrueType fonts. Why don’t all of my fonts appear in the Fonts menu? You may not have all of your fonts placed correctly. All the fonts should be installed in the Fonts folder in the System Folder. Additionally, some application programs let the user decide which fonts should appear in the Fonts menu. Check the manuals that came with your programs. Why can’t I see my Monaco 9, Geneva 9 and 12, and Chicago 12 bitmapped fonts? These fonts are used by your Macintosh to display information. Because the Macintosh needs these fonts, the Finder makes them invisible to prevent users from removing them. Appendix B What does the term Apple classic fontsmean? The Apple classic fonts are the original ten bitmapped fonts that came with the first Macintosh in 1984. These fonts, which all have city names, include Athens, Cairo (a picture font), Chicago, Geneva, London, Los Angeles, Monaco, New York, San Francisco, and Venice. Several of the fonts (Athens, Cairo, London, and San Francisco) came in only one size—18 points. Chicago, Geneva, Monaco, and New York are currently available in TrueType versions. The other classic fonts are still only available in bitmapped versions. Why do I sometimes get Geneva or Courier in my printed documents when I have specified other fonts? Geneva sometimes appears when you’re trying to use a TrueType font but don’t have enough memory for scaling to operate properly. Substitute fonts can also appear in a document composed on one Macintosh that has a particular set of fonts but printed on another Macintosh that doesn’t have those fonts. Why does a document written entirely in Times look different on different Macintosh computers? Times, an extremely popular font, is manufactured and sold by more than one company. Such fonts usually have small differences, even though they have the same name. For example, the Times font manufactured by Adobe Systems Incorporated, has different letterspacing than does the Times font from Apple Computer, Inc. Using Fonts With the Color StyleWriter 2500 What is font substitution? Font Substitution, which isn’t available for your Color StyleWriter 2500 printer, is an option in the Page Setup dialog box for certain PostScript printers. When font substitution is turned on, these printers will use their built-in equivalents for three bitmapped fonts (Times for New York, Helvetica for Geneva, and Courier for Monaco). What’s a downloadable font? A downloadable font is a TrueType or PostScript font sent to some kinds of printers, such as most PostScript Laser printers, by your system software. The printer then uses the font to print your document. If a printer has sufficient memory, it can hold more than one downloaded font; otherwise, it must request the fonts it needs as necessary. This can be a time-consuming process. Some printers have hard disks attached to them for holding downloaded fonts. A printer can get the fonts from its hard disk more quickly than it can download them from the computer’s hard disk. Your Color StyleWriter 2500 printer cannot receive downloaded fonts. Instead, your Macintosh composes the entire image and then sends it to your Color StyleWriter 2500 for printing. Appendix B Appendix C Font List Between the fonts that come with your Macintosh and those that come with the printer, there are 28 font families (and 64 total styled fonts) available as soon as you install the Color StyleWriter 2500 software.
