How to choose fonts
Although document source files can specify almost any image on a printed page, images that contain letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols are common enough to require a special mechanism for dealing with them, similar to movable type. This mechanism is the font. The Xerox FreeFlow® Print Server controller supports Adobe PostScript Type 1 and Type 3 fonts, PCL scalable and bitmap fonts, and TrueType fonts.

The most important thing to remember is that the font used to create a document must also be available to the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller.
NOTE: The Xerox FreeFlow Print Server supports the euro character. Most font families include the euro character.
At the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller, a font can exist in three forms:
Resident fonts A resident font is an internal font that is permanently stored on the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller and is always available.
Soft fonts An optional or soft font is a typeface that is loaded as needed at the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller. This allows the Print Server controller to be customized with special fonts, such as logos, or other special font applications as needed.
Downloaded font A downloaded font is a font that has its requirements embedded in the actual source file. If this font is not available at the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller, the downloaded information is used to process and print the document. Although it is useful, it also creates a much larger file size.
