  • Page 188: Chapter 53: Understanding Fonts

    Understanding fonts 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.
  • Page 189 In fixed space fonts, each character has the same width. Pitch is used to specify the size of fixed space fonts. It is a measure of the number of characters that will print in one horizontal inch of type. For example, all 10-pitch fonts print 10 characters per inch (cpi) and all 12-pitch fonts print 12 cpi: In proportional (or typographic) fonts, every character can have a different width.

  • Page 190: Bitmapped And Scalable Fonts

    Bitmapped and scalable fonts The printer uses both bitmapped and scalable fonts.

    Symbol sets A symbol set is the collection of alphabetic and numeric characters, punctuation, and special characters available in the font you select. Symbol sets support the requirements for different languages or specific applications, such as math symbols used for scientific text.
