Styled fonts

Most fonts that come with your Color StyleWriter 6500 printer have defined styles. For example, if you open the Bookman font (contained in a suitcase in the Fonts folder, which is inside your System Folder), you see files for bold and italic versions of the font.

But fonts such as Chicago, Geneva, Monaco, and New York do not come with defined styles. If you open the Chicago font suitcase, you see only one file.

You can apply a style to a font like this by making a choice from the appropriate menu (Fonts, Style, Format, or some similar menu, depending on the application program). A font predesigned with a given style nearly always looks better than a font with a computer-generated “derived” style.

About style names: Predesigned styled fonts sometimes have names you may not be familiar with. For example, roman refers to a font without styling, or plain. Oblique is similar to italic. Light, demi, and extra are different kinds of bold.
