BASIC CONCEPTS

Fonts

Fonts are character sets, each having a unique type style, type size, and orientation.

Fixed and proportional spacing Fixed and proportionally spaced fonts are available for use on laser printing systems. Each character occupies an area on the form called a character cell. With fixed fonts, all character cells in the set are the same width. With proportional fonts, character cells vary in width, as shown in figure 2-2.

Figure 2-2.Character spacing

Because the length of a line printed with a proportional font is relatively unpredictable, fixed fonts are used for variable data on a report to avoid overprinting forms data with variable data. Proportional fonts are normally used for forms data, that is, titles, headings, and so forth. A letter is an example of the use of proportional fonts for variable data. The differences in width are illustrated in figure 2-3.

Figure 2-3.Character spacing examples

Fonts are available in various typefaces (for example, OCR and Titan), sizes, styles (for example, serif and sans serif), and weights (for example, medium and bold).

Font orientation In addition to typeface, style, and size, the font can be defined by its orientation:

•

•

•

•

Landscape

Portrait

Inverse landscape

Inverse portrait

The font orientation, as shown in figure 2-4, is relative to the physical page.
