What does the term Apple classic fonts mean?

The Apple classic fonts are the original ten bitmapped fonts that came with the first Macintosh in 1984. These fonts, which all have city names, include Athens, Cairo (a picture font), Chicago, Geneva, London, Los Angeles, Monaco, New York, San Francisco, and Venice. Several of the fonts (Athens, Cairo, London, and San Francisco) came in only one size—18 points.

Chicago, Geneva, Monaco, and New York are currently available in TrueType versions. The other classic fonts are still only available in bitmapped versions.

Why do I sometimes get Geneva or Courier in my printed documents when I have specified other fonts?

Geneva sometimes appears when you’re trying to use a TrueType font but don’t have enough memory for scaling to operate properly.

Substitute fonts can also appear in a document composed on one Mac OS computer that has a particular set of fonts but printed on another Mac OS computer that doesn’t have those fonts.

Why does a document written entirely in Times look different on different Mac OS computers?

Times, an extremely popular font, is manufactured and sold by more than one company. Such fonts usually have small differences, even though they have the same name. For example, the Times font manufactured by Adobe Systems Incorporated has different letterspacing than does the Times font from Apple Computer.
