3.1. Bitmap and Scalable Fonts Bitmap fonts A bitmap font is made of a fixed bit pattern (Figure 3.1.). This pattern is stored in a special format for use in the printer. Bitmap fonts have a fixed height (size) for each character. Therefore, different font sets are required for different font sizes. For example, Dutch801BM10-Roman is a 10 -point font and Dutch801BM8-Roman is an 8-point font. Figure 3.1. Bitmap Font Character Scalable fonts Scalable fonts provide the outline of the characters (Figure 3.2.). This outline is scaled according to the scaling information from the computer and filled in for printing. Depending on the capabilities of the software you use, the scalable fonts can be scaled from 0.25 point to 999.75 points in quarter point increments. Figure 3.2. Scalable Font Character 3-2
