	font engine & font rasterizer technology
		Font Fusion was designed for both gray-scale and fl and white, ROM and non-ROM, based devices where the fonts may reside locally or remotely.
		The Font Fusion font rasterizer is robustly architected in an object oriented manner to achieve platform and OS independence in industry standard ANSI C, allowing it to run on virtually any platform and device.
		The fonts are designed specifically for handheld and wireless devices since they maximize the amount of readable text that can be used on a small display.

	Outline font - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An outline font (or "vector font") is one defined as vector graphics, i.e.
		Outline font characters can be scaled to any size and otherwise transformed more easily than a bitmap font, and with more attractive results, though this requires a lot of numerical processing.
		The result of transforming a character in an outline font in a particular way is often saved as a bitmap in a font cache to avoid repeating the calculations if that character is to be drawn again.

	Document composition apparatus which changes an outline font in accordance with letter magnification - Patent 5042075 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		An outline font formation which when a character is in a regularly-used size, forms a character pattern by approximation with short line segments using an outline font of a first representing mode.
		Further, the outline fonts stored in character font area 15 are obtained by approximating the original shape of a character, including curved sections, represented in, for example, a 200.times.200 dot size, by means of short line segments.
		When an outline font whose curved portion is represented by the Bezier curve, it is enlarged in accordance with the character magnification by converting the coordinates of the control points denoting the curve, as shown in step A3.

	Fonts, Fonts, Fonts
		Characters in an outline font are represented mathematically, as a series of lines and curves.
		Body fonts are those that are usable for long reads of text, such as in a novel or magazine article - they also often include bold and italic versions.
		Topic fonts are those that suggest a particular topic, such as fonts designed for Halloween - or that contain recognizable graphics, such as explosions, pipes, logs, paper clips, snowcaps, etc. Standard fonts are those commonly included in most printers.

	PfaEdit -- An outline font editor for PostScript®, TrueType and OpenType fonts
		Postscript and truetype fonts generally describe the outline of the shape and then color in the interior of that outline, this coloring process is called rasterizing.
		There is a third type, a stroked font, where each stem of the character is represented by one line down the center of the stem, and the line is later drawn with a certain width.
		When generating a font, if it finds a situation where it can't use a refered character as a reference it will fix it up somehow, usually this means replacing it with the equivalent outlines.

	FontForge -- An outline font editor for PostScript®, TrueType and OpenType fonts
		There is a third type, a stroked font, where each stem of the glyph is represented by one line down the center of the stem, and the line is later drawn with a certain width.
		The sum of the ascent and descent is the size of the font.

	The TrueType Font File
		Apple makes a distinction between a "TrueType font" (which refers to a particular font outline definition technology) and an "sfnt-housed font," which refers to any font which uses the same packaging format as a TrueType font: that is, it uses the same directory structure and the same table format and meaning for any tables present.
		The font directory, the first of the tables, is a guide to the contents of the font file.
		OFA allows different font scalers to wrap different font formats within the basic structure of a TrueType font; the scaler type in the offset subtable of the font's directory is used to indicate which scaler should be used with a particular font.

	Unicode fonts and tools for X11
		The copyright status of these fonts remains the same as for the original fonts in the X11 distribution, therefore any X11 server vendors are welcome to include them into their products without payment of royalties.
		Therefore, an Indic font is always a proprietary non-standardized collection of glyphs together with a mapping table that defines, how sequences of standard Unicode characters have to be transformed into sequences of non-standard Indic glyphs from this particular font, before the text can be displayed.
		OpenType font format developed by Microsoft and Adobe is an outline font format that does include such character/glyph mapping tables.

	Fonts in the X Window System
		Outline fonts need to be rasterized into specific sizes; this may be done on-the-fly in the X server, or via a remote font server.
		Fonts in the X Window System have long descriptive names, but such names are often inconvenient to type, so provisions are made for aliases.
		X terminals store a very small set of fonts in read-only nonvolatile memory, and then when they are powered on, or rebooted, they fetch their operating system and other needed fonts from a remote server machine.

		A scalable font in which the outlines of each character are geometrically defined.
		An outline font is scalable because, given a geometrical description of a typeface, a printer or other display device can generate the characters at any size (scale).
		Aside from offering innumerable sizes of each font, outline fonts have the added advantage that they make the most of an output device 's resolution.

	Comparing PostScript and TrueType Fonts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		TrueType is also an outline font technology, but it describes the outlines with quadratic curves (instead of cubic curves).
		The TrueType one makes for a smaller and faster rasteriser, but at the expense of larger font files, whose final printed quality is much more dependent on the amount of effort and expertise put in by the type designer than are Type 1 fonts.
		Another benefit of putting the intelligence into the rasteriser rather than the font is that when you upgrade your rasteriser (when you buy a new printer), all your fonts look better.
