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 computer that has a particular set of fonts but printed on another Macintosh 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, Inc.

What is font substitution?

Font Substitution, which isn’t available for your Color StyleWriter 6500 printer, is an option in the Page Setup dialog box for certain PostScript printers. When font substitution is turned on, these printers will use their built- in equivalents for three bitmapped fonts (Times for New York, Helvetica for Geneva, and Courier for Monaco).
