The point size of a font is defined as the distance from the top of the tallest character in the font to the bottom of the lowest character in the font. Due to the definition of point size, different fonts printed at the same point size may appear quite different in size. This is because there are other font parameters affecting how the font looks. However, the point size of a font is an excellent specification of the relative size of a font. The following examples illustrate two very different proportional fonts at 14 point: ITC Avant Garde abcdefghABCDEFGH ITC Zapf Chancery abcdefghABCDEFGH Bitmapped and scalable fonts The printer uses both bitmapped and scalable fonts. Bitmapped font Scalable font Bitmapped fonts are stored in printer memory as predefined patterns of bits representing a typeface at a specific size, style, and resolution. Bitmapped fonts are available in different type styles and point sizes as downloadable fonts. Contact your point of purchase for more information about downloadable fonts. Understanding fonts 153
