About printing TrueType fonts

TrueType fonts are best if your final output device is a desktop printer, especially a non-PostScript printer. TrueType fonts retain quality when scaled, but text effects and transformations may not display or print to a PostScript printer as effectively as a PostScript font with ATM.

Bitmap fonts such as PCL (Windows) are often included with non-PostScript printers. PCL fonts generally provide a limited, non-scalable set of sizes, cannot be transformed, and do not support special text effects.

In Windows, TrueType fonts are installed through the program in the Fonts Control Panel and normally reside in the Windows folder.

On the Macintosh, TrueType fonts are located in the Fonts folder within the System folder.
