Prepared to print your file ? Read this to avoid surprises.

There are two types of fonts :-
PostScript (Type 1, Type 3 and Multiple Masters) and TrueType

PostScript fonts have two parts -
A printer font tells the printer how to print the type on paper (or other media).

A screen font tells the computer how to draw it on the screen.

PostScript Type 1 fonts are considered the industry standard and are the most reliable when printing to high-end digital devices such as image setters and digital presses.

Type 3 fonts are the original non Adobe Post Script font description standard. This standard is dying and type foundries have all moved to the Type 1 standard.

Multiple Masters were developed by Adobe to give users the ability to manipulate one or more design axes giving one tremendous flexibility and control over the type. Multiple Masters are also Type 1 fonts.

TrueType is most popular on the PC platform and is not PostScript. While TrueType can be used for day-to-day output, it is often the culprit of many printing problems. We don't suggest you use TrueType fonts because they may require additional processing time & other potential.

Don't use PostScript Fonts and TrueType fonts in same file!
