How the Macintosh looks fo r fonts

Here’s the search order your Macintosh uses to determine which font to

display on your screen when you choose a specific size:

1. an in sta lled bitmapped font in that size, if one exists

2. a s caled TrueType font, if no bitmapped font exists

3. an Adobe Type Manager (ATM) version of a PostScript font, if ATM is

installed and if no TrueType version exists

4. a scaled bitmap if no ATM font exists

Here’s the search order it uses to determine which font to print on your

Color StyleWriter 2500 printer:

1. a s c aled TrueType font, if one exists

2. a n ATM version of a PostScript font, if ATM is installed and if no

Tru eTyp e version exists

3. a scaled 72-dpi bitmap if no ATM font exists
