Scalable fonts
Each character in a scalable font is defined as an outline
shape. The computer converts the outline shape to a
matrix of dots that forms the printed character. Hence,
scalable fonts, such as the TrueType
fonts on the floppy
disk accompanying
the printer, can be displayed on-
screen and printed at any size.
In Windows
