- Hello,
-
- i am wondering if anyone could straighten this little problem
- of mine
- I have both trueytypes and bitmap fonts installed in my system
- ( info : 7.0.1 + tu 1.1.1). Will these bitmap fonts automatically
- be selected for on screen presentation of text, if the right size
- is available ? Or does the system choose truetype fonts if it can
- find those... ? Further on, If the system can find the right font size
- will it either 'interpolate' the bitmaps or jump over to the truetype
- specification ?
-
- To be honnest, i used the term 'bitmap' because i can't tell the distinction
- between type 1 and postscript fonts at the system level. Where do the
- 'screen fonts' fit in ?
-
- Hope someone could shet some light on this...
- thanx,
- Frank ( proesmsf@esat.kul.ac.be)
