Today’s printer and computer applications primarily use scalable outline fonts such as
TrueType and OpenType fonts for printing and display. Single fonts are scalable to any
size supported by the application and equipment. Scalable outline fonts are built into the
Windows operating systems and can be found in proportional and monospaced (or fixed)
formats.
Most of the scalable outline fonts are proportional. Proportional fonts have each character
and the ICG scaled together with the font set controlling the space between each
character. Text printed (and displayed) does not change the fonts basic appearance when
the size changes proportionally. The printer font engine optimizes the print quality and
places the characters in the print image.
