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.
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 Xerox FreeFlow
Adobe PostScript Type 1 and Type 3 fonts, PCL scalable and
bitmap fonts, and TrueType fonts.
The most important thing to remember is that the font used to
create a document must also be available to the Xerox FreeFlow
Print Server controller.
NOTE: The Xerox FreeFlow Print Server supports the euro
character. Most font families include the euro character.
At the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller, a font can exist in
three forms:
A resident font is an internal font that is permanently stored on the
Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller and is always available.
An optional or soft font is a typeface that is loaded as needed at
the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller. This allows the Print
Server controller to be customized with special fonts, such as
logos, or other special font applications as needed.
A downloaded font is a font that has its requirements embedded in
the actual source file. If this font is not available at the Xerox
FreeFlow Print Server controller, the downloaded information is
used to process and print the document. Although it is useful, it
also creates a much larger file size.
