The following information explains how to use and choose
fonts for a job. It also covers various resident and non-
resident fonts and their availability.
How to choose fonts
Although document source files can specify almost any
image on a printed page, images that contain letters,
numbers, punctuation, and symbols are common enough to
require a special mechanism for dealing with them, similar to
movable type. This mechanism is the font. The DocuSP
controller supports Adobe PostScript Type 1 and Type 3
fonts, PCL scalable and bitmap fonts, and TrueType fonts.
Fonts
The most important thing to remember is that the font used to
create a document must also be available to the DocuSP
controller.
NOTE:
DocuSP supports the euro character. Most font
families include the euro character.
At the DocuSP controller, a font can exist in three forms:
Resident fonts
A resident font is an internal font that is permanently stored
on the DocuSP controller and is always available.
Soft fonts
An optional or soft font is a typeface that is loaded as needed
at the DocuSP controller. This allows the DocuSP controller
to be customized with special fonts, such as logos, or other
special font applications as needed.
