Understanding Fonts This section contains basic information about fonts, their characteristics, and the specific fonts available in PCL 6 and PostScript 3 emulations. Typefaces and fonts A font is a set of characters and symbols created with a distinct design. The distinct design is called a typeface. The typefaces you select add personality to a document. Well-chosen typefaces make a document easier to read. The printer has numerous resident fonts in PCL 6 and PostScript 3 emulations. See "Resident fonts" on page 159 for a listing of all resident fonts. Weight and style Typefaces are often available in different weights and styles. These variations modify the original typeface so you can, for example, emphasize important words in text or highlight book titles. The different weights and styles are designed to complement the original typeface. Weight refers to the thickness of the lines that form the characters. Thicker lines result in darker characters. Some words commonly used to describe the weight of a typeface are bold, medium, light, black and heavy. Understanding Fonts 154
