6.KX-P8420 font Management
This document describes how fonts are handled on PC screen and KX-P8420.
Both Windows and Macintosh computers support TrueType font sets as a standard. TrueType font is a kind of outline
font that can be scaled to multiple points without jagged appearance.
In addition, after installing KX-P8420 printer driver, another sets of font become available and these are called printer
font. You can choose from both TrueType fonts and Printer fonts within most of standard applications.
KX-P8420 also has two types of resident font, True Type font and Type1 font. Type1 font is another type of outline font
which has a different mechanism to draw from TrueType font and this is the standard type of font for PS printer.
NOTE:
Some Graphic or DTP applications (ex.CorelDraw) require ATM and Type1 font installation to use Printer font.
TrueType font
Because P8420 does not support all TrueType font PC has, some TrueType font on PC are converted to Type1 font
when it’s sent to the printer. The substitution table P8420 printer driver has specifies how each True Type font is
converted. It’s also possible to send these TrueType fonts as outline or bitmap data to the printer.
In this case, you can get more accurate print outcome than using substitution table, but you may experience slower
printing performance. KX-P8420 has some TrueType font that your PC may not support. All TrueType font data KX-
P8420 supports are included in KX-P8420 Driver/Utility CD-ROM and can be installed on your PC.
Type1 font. It is recommended to install these fonts to achieve the WYSIWIG output.
