Scalable font that appears the same on-screen or when printed.
A type of font invented by Apple and shared with MicroSoft. It specifies outlines with 2 degree Bézier curves, contains inovative hinting controls, and an expandable series of tables for containing whatever additional information is deemed imported to the font. Apple and Adobe/MicroSoft have expanded these tables in different ways, although attempting to achieve the same effect.

A digital font technology developed as alternative to PostScript. One True Type file is used for screen display and printing.
TrueType is an outline font standard originally developed by Apple Computer in the late 1980s as a competitor to Adobe's Type 1 fonts used in Post Script. The primary strength of TrueType was originally that it offered font developers a high degree of control over precisely how their fonts are displayed, right down to particular pixels, at various font heights. (With widely varying rendering technologies in use today, pixel-level control is no longer certain.)
