How TrueType fonts work with other kinds of fonts

Although TrueType fonts offer distinct advantages, your LaserWriter 12/640 PS printer can also use other kinds of fonts.

TrueType and bitmapped fonts

Mac OS computers running System 7 come with both bitmapped (screen) fonts and TrueType fonts installed. This maintains consistency with documents created on Mac OS computers that don’t have TrueType fonts.

If both a TrueType and bitmapped version of the same font are available, the Mac OS uses the bitmapped font (providing that the stipulated point size is present). If you want the Mac OS to use the TrueType font, you need to remove the bitmapped font from your system.
