The most important thing to remember is that the f ont you use to create your document must also be available to us for printing, either as a resident font, a soft font, or a downloaded font. Resident fonts are internal fonts that are permanently installed in a printer's memory, and are alwa ys available. You can expect the highest quality results when you use resident fonts to create your document.
Soft fonts are typefaces that are stored on cartridge or disk and loaded as needed on the printers.
Soft fonts allow the printer to be customized with additional fonts that document creators may require for special applications. TrueType fonts contained in PostScript jobs are rendered from PostScript Type 1 copies of the TrueType font, as supplied in the PostScript master file. The quality of the PostScript Type 1 rendition of your desired TrueType font depends on the ability of the print driver and the existence and quality of any hinting information that might be necessary. As soon as the document prints, this font is erased from the printer's memory. To ensure accurate printing, the exact font that is requested in your source document must be available to the printer, either as a resident font, a soft font, or a font embedded in the document.
