Fonts and Scalable Fonts There are two types of fonts available, and these fonts are distinguished by the type of data from which they are formed. • Bitmapped fonts • Scalable fonts Bitmapped Fonts Each character of bitmapped fonts are composed of a grid of small dots and stored in the machine's memory in dot matrix format. Bitmapped fonts are fixed in size and specified by characteristics called "attributes," such as typeface, stroke weight, style and so on. Various types of bitmapped fonts 4 are produced by the combination of these attributes. Appendix Some Basic Facts about Fonts 4-7

Fonts and Scalable Fonts
There are two types of fonts available, and these fonts are distinguished by the type
of data from which they are formed.
Bitmapped fonts
Scalable fonts
Bitmapped Fonts
Each character of bitmapped fonts are composed of a grid of small dots and stored
in the machine's memory in dot matrix format.
Bitmapped fonts are fixed in size and specified by characteristics called "attributes,"
such as typeface, stroke weight, style and so on. Various types of bitmapped fonts
are produced by the combination of these attributes.
