TCP/IP
Transmission Control Proto-
col/Internet Protocol. A set
of communication protocols
developed by the U.S. De-
partment of Defense that al-
lows dissimilar computers to
share information over a net-
work. TCP/IP is the glue that
binds the Internet.
TrueType Font
Each font contains its own
algorithms for converting the
outline into bitmaps. The
lower-level language embed-
ded within the TrueType
font allows unlimited flex-
ibility in the design.
Type 1 (PostScript) Font
Type 1 fonts are distributed
by Adobe as two files: out-
lines (PFB), and metrics
(AFM), which includes char-
acter widths and heights and
kerning values and are con-
verted to PFM (Printer Font
Metric) files on the hard disk.
These fonts are encrypted,
and compressed. They also
allow for hints, which im-
prove the appearance of text
at 300 dpi and lower resolu-
tions. Adobe Type Manager
is needed with non-PostScript
printers.
Type 3 fonts do not use en-
cryption or hints, but can use
the entire PostScript language
to create complex designs.
They can also be bitmaps.
Type 3 fonts are not widely
used.
