Fonts and Scalable Fonts

There are two types of fonts available, and these fonts are distinguished by the type
of data from which they are formed.

• Bitmapped fonts

• Scalable fonts
Bitmapped Fonts
Each character of bitmapped fonts are composed of a grid of small dots and stored
in the machine's memory in dot matrix format.
Bitmapped fonts are fixed in size and specified by characteristics called "attributes,"
such as typeface, stroke weight, style and so on. Various types of bitmapped fonts
are produced by the combination of these attributes.
