    Understanding Fonts
    Typefaces and Fonts
    A font is a set of characters and symbols created with a distinct design. The 
    distinct design is called a typeface. The typefaces you select add personality to a 
    document. Well-chosen typefaces make a document easier to read.
    The printer has numerous resident fonts in PCL 5/PCL 6. See Resident Fonts 
    for a listing of all resident fonts.
    Weight and Style
    Typefaces are often available in different weights and styles. These variations 
    modify the original typeface so you can, for example, emphasize important 
    words in text or highlight book titles. The different weights and styles are 
    designed to complement the original typeface.
    We i g h t refers to the thickness of the lines that form the characters. Thicker lines 
    result in darker characters. Some words commonly used to describe the weight 
    of a typeface are bold, medium, light, black, and heavy.
    Style refers to other typeface modifications, such as tilt or character width. Italic 
    and oblique are styles where the characters are tilted. Narrow, condensed, and 
    extended are three common styles that modify the character widths.
    Some fonts combine several weight and style modifications; for example, 
    Helvetica BdOb. A group of several weight and style variations of a single 
    typeface is called a typeface family. Most typeface families have four variations: 
    regular, italic (oblique), bold, and bold italic (bold oblique). Some families have 
    more variations, as the following illustration for the Helvetica typeface family 
    shows:

    Pitch and Point Size
    The size of a font is specified as either a pitch or point size, depending on 
    whether the font is fixed space or proportional.
    In fixed space fonts, each character has the same width. Pitch is used to specify 
    the size of fixed space fonts. It is a measure of the number of characters that will 
    print in one horizontal inch of type. For example, all 10-pitch fonts print 10 
    characters per inch (cpi) and all 12-pitch fonts print 12 cpi:
    In proportional (or typographic) fonts, every character can have a different 
    width. Since proportional fonts have characters with different widths, the font 
    size is specified in point size, not pitch. Point size refers to the height of the 
    characters in the font. A point is defined as 1/72 inch. The characters in a font 
    printed at 24 point will be twice as large as the characters in the same font 
    printed at 12 point.
    The following illustration shows samples of a font printed in different point 
    sizes:
