At the time, the technology for including these hints in fonts was carefully guarded, and the hinted fonts were compressed and encrypted into what Adobe called a Type 1 Font ( also known as PostScript Type 1 Font, PS1, T1 or Adobe Type 1 ).

Those who did not license the technology were left with the Type 3 Font ( also known as PostScript Type 3 Font, PS3 or T3 ).

Type 3 fonts allowed for all the sophistication of the PostScript language, but without the standardized approach to hinting.

When printed to a PostScript output device, the unneeded parts of the OpenType font are omitted, and what is sent to the device by the driver is the same as it would be for a TrueType or Type 1 font, depending on which kind of outlines were present in the OpenType font.

TrueType is an outline font standard developed by Apple Computer in the late 1980s as a competitor to Adobe's Type 1 fonts used in PostScript.

In contrast, printer fonts for the popular Apple LaserWriter were based on PostScript Type 1 outlines, resulting in excellent output at all printer sizes, but failing on the 72 dot per inch Mac screens.

Anti-aliased rendering, combined with Adobe applications ability to zoom in to read small type, further combined with the now open PostScript Type 1 font format, provided the impetus for an explosion in font design, and desktop publishing of newspapers and magazines.

In the PostScript language, TrueType outlines are handled with a PostScript wrapper as Type 42 for name-keyed, or Type 11 for CID-keyed fonts.

Certain new features are common across all editions of Windows 2000, among them NTFS 3. 0, the Microsoft Management Console ( MMC ), UDF support, the Encrypting File System ( EFS ), Logical Disk Manager, Image Color Management 2. 0, support for PostScript 3-based printers, OpenType < tt >(. OTF )</ tt > and Type 1 PostScript < tt >(. PFB )</ tt > font support, the Data protection API ( DPAPI ), an LDAP / Active Directory-enabled Address Book, usability enhancements and multi-language and locale support.

Unlike more common outline font formats ( such as TrueType or PostScript Type 1 ), a Metafont font is primarily made up of strokes with finite-width " pens ", along with filled regions.

Common font formats include TrueType, OpenType and PostScript Type 1, while METAFONT is still used by TeX and its variants.

Standard Edition includes WordPerfect 9, Quattro Pro 9, Corel Presentations 9, CorelCENTRAL 9, Netscape Navigator, WordPerfect Office 2000 user guide and clipart manual, Adobe Acrobat Reader, over 100 TrueType and PostScript Type 1 fonts, 1, 200 + clipart images, 20 + photos, 30-day free installation support.

Deluxe Edition added Paradox 9, Netscape Communicator, 1, 000 True Type and PostScript Type 1 fonts, over 12, 000 clipart images, 200 + photos, Railroad Tycoon II-Gold Edition Limited Version and demo games by Loki Games, a Linux bean-filled Penguin.

High-level printing is achieved using its own internal level 3 PostScript driver, including support for font embedding and sub-setting with TrueType, Type 1 and OpenType fonts.

The font has also been repackaged as a Type 1 PostScript font, called Bera, for LaTeX users.

The system also included a system for " wrapping " existing PostScript Type 1 fonts into its own internal format, which added bitmap preview versions for quick on-screen rendering.

PostScript level 1 supports tiled patterns and PostScript 3 supports Gouraud shading.

Level 1 PostScript offers transparency via two methods:

EPS files contain PostScript, which may be level 1, 2 or 3 and make use of the features above.

One twip is 1 / 1440 inch or 17. 639 µm when derived from the PostScript point at 72 to the inch, and 1 / 1445. 4 inch or 17. 573 µm based on the printer's point at 72. 27 to the inch.

PostScript avoided this problem with the inclusion of hints which could be saved along with the font outlines.

Apple ended up reaching an accord with Adobe and licensed genuine PostScript for its printers, but TrueType became the standard outline font technology for both MS Windows and the Macintosh.

In addition, Apple at this time invented an extensible font format the " sfnt " where different parts of the font could be stored in a single file, contrary to PostScript fonts, where bitmaps, metrics data and kerning, and the actual outline font, were in different files.

The initial Truetype outline fonts, four-weight families of Times Roman, Helvetica, Courier, and the Pi font replicated the original PostScript fonts of the Apple LaserWriter.

An OpenType font with PostScript outlines must have an. otf extension.

* The LaserWriter IIf had a faster processor than the IINTX, a newer version of PostScript and also HP PCL, and included the SCSI interface for font storage on an external hard drive

Microsoft's version of Times New Roman licensed from Monotype matches the widths from the Adobe / Linotype version ( a PostScript core font by Linotype ).

Adobe Illustrator was first developed for the Apple Macintosh in December 1986 ( shipping in January 1987 ) as a commercialization of Adobe's in-house font development software and PostScript file format.

DVI differs from PostScript and PDF in that it does not support any form of font embedding.

* Metafont is set up to produce fonts, in the form of image files ( in. gf format ) with associated font metric files ( in. tfm format ), whereas MetaPost produces encapsulated PostScript files

gnuplot can produce output directly on screen, or in many formats of graphics files, including Portable Network Graphics ( PNG ), Encapsulated PostScript ( EPS ), Scalable Vector Graphics ( SVG ), JPEG and many others.

DVI files can only contain references to typefaces, rather than the sets of raster or vector glyphs that other formats like PostScript allow.

* ImageNest RIP ( Non windows OS ) can layout multiple raster and PostScript files onto a single page.

* Printable files of musical staff in PDF and PostScript formats provided by Perry Roland of Alderman Library at The University of Virginia

The LaserWriter's PostScript capability allowed publication designers to proof files on a local printer then print the same file at DTP service bureaus using optical resolution 600 + ppi PostScript-printers such as those from Linotronic.

* Printer Description File, files created by vendors to describe the entire set of features and capabilities available for their PostScript printers

In other words, EPS files are more or less self-contained, reasonably predictable PostScript documents that describe an image or drawing and can be placed within another PostScript document.

Both of these PC format EPS files have a particular disadvantage: because the PostScript data, header and preview are all in the same file, they will cause printing errors if a program does not understand the format well enough to extract only the PostScript data.

DVI files are often converted into PDF, PostScript, or PCL format for reading and printing.

gedit supports printing, including print preview and printing to PostScript and PDF files.

* Ghostscript, a free software suite for handling PostScript and Portable Document Format ( PDF ) files

* PostScript Printer Description files are created by vendors to describe the entire set of features and capabilities available for their PostScript printers

* PostScript files and programs start with "%!

) The Device independent file format is output by the TeX typesetting system, and can be used for generating device-specific commands that can be viewed or printed ; for example, translation to PostScript (< tt > ps </ tt > files ).

* Version 0. 46 ( March 24, 2008 ) added new docks based user interface, Paint Bucket, Tweak and 3D Box tools, Live Path Effects, support for most SVG filters, the ability to open PDF files, and OpenType / PostScript and Type1 font support fixed.

In computers, J2STask is a software product that was developed by J2S to streamline the workflow of people who process digital raster graphics ( or Encapsulated PostScript ) files.

PostScript Printer Description ( PPD ) files are created by vendors to describe the entire set of features and capabilities available for their PostScript printers.
