- It will use the bitmap to display on the screen; it will use
- TrueType to print to non-PostScript printers; and it will
- use PostScript to print to PostScript devices (because Courier
- is built in to PostScript printers--if you have a PS printer
- that doesn't have Courier built-in, it will use TrueType). This
- is assuming that you do not have a downloadable version of
- Courier PostScript available.)
