UNl:: II1II IN I HUUUL; IIUNIfyou have bit-mapped fonts that are, respectively 2,3 or 4 times larger than the fontsize you want to print, then your print-outs from bit-mapped fonts will look just fine.Unfortunately, large size bit-mapped fonts are just not that readily available. And, largefonts also require a large amount of disk space.Fortunately, Pointless overcomes all these limitations - you'll never have to concernyourself again with point sizes, as Pointless will internally generate any size you needfrom a single TrueType font.POINTLESS FONTSPointless allows the IIGS to use TrueType fonts, the industry standard font format usedby the Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows 3.1. TrueType fonts can be referred toas scalable fonts or outline fonts,In an outline font, each character is stored as a mathematical formula that describes thelines, curves and points that make up the shape of the character. Since an outline font isnot a pattern of dots, it can be re-sized, while accurately retaining the shape of itscharacters.When a TrueType font is re-sized, Pointless enlarges or shrinks the outline to theselected size, and then converts it to a pattern of dots that most accurately fill theoutline, for display on the screen or output on the printer.8
ONE II1II INTRODUCTIONSince a single TrueType font file can be used to create any point size, you'll no longerneed many different fonts files for separate sizes - one TrueType file does it all- savingdisk space and making font organization and installation much easier.TrueType Fonts included with PointlessIncluded with Pointless are several popular TrueType fonts. These fonts are initiallylocated on the Pointless disk; however, unlike the bit-mapped fonts you're now using,Pointless will allow you to store TrueType fonts anywhere you wish, even on severaldifferent disks. This is a significant benefit to one or two drive users, who don't have ahard disk.I50 TrueTypeJonts E!J56itelllS 488K used 312K available~ r£il r!illGeneva Honaco ChicagoQ~ ~ ralCourier Mew.York Slflllbol ~¢II ~~TrueType font files will appear in the Finder with a different icon than standard GS bitmappedfonts, allowing you to readily tell the type of a font file.nOBit-mapped font file iconTrueType font file icon9
