After a few years your company grows and you find you need to reproduce your application on another platform. Your developers create an application in Oracle, for example, running on a UNIX host. Since you already own the license for the font and we provide fonts with every order that support PCs, Macintosh and UNIX, you do not have to purchase more fonts or hardware. The programmer just duplicates the same program logic and uses the same font and usually the same printer. If the application needs to print to more than one printer, it is not a problem because you are not tied into using a single printer.
Fonts are easy to understand and distribute Most end users understand and know how to use fonts.
Users that use MS Word, for example, usually select different fonts in their text as appropriate. With this basic understanding of how fonts operate, the only other thing to do is print the character representing the appropriate symbol in the font. Font usage can be automated in the UNIX environment with TrueType font servers. This becomes important when printing on a busy LAN or printing to a remote location. This will consume more bandwidth because the PC generates graphics and sends it to the printer rather than having the printer generate the graphics from the font.
