Keywords:  font, scalable, outline, apple, adobe
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 registered trademark for an outline font format with built-in screen and printer fonts, it frequently causes output problems, and is not recommended.
