Fonts
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
Soft, or optional, fonts are a typeface that are 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.
