TrueType fonts are usually identified by a full name without a number, like Maestro.

If you choose File > Get Info for a screen font, you’ll see an icon consisting of a page with a corner folded over with a single "A" on it.

Screen or bit-mapped fonts come in specific sizes and are recognized by the number: for example, Maestro 24 would be a screen font.

The number on the page tells you what version of PostScript the font is: current font technology would be a type 1 font. If you click on the font and choose File > Get Info, you’ll see an icon of a laser printer with a page sticking out of it.

PostScript fonts often have abbreviated names like Maest.

(Note that PostScript font installation is printer specific and that the PostScript fonts are only visible to the printer that was selected as the default printer when the fonts were installed.) The solution is to go to the Fonts Control Panel and manually add the Maestro font to your system. If, when you open PrintMusic, large text symbols like & and Ï appear instead of clefs and notes, Windows is unable to locate the Maestro font. The PostScript fonts are installed in a folder called PS fonts, located on your root directory (usually c:\). The PostScript fonts are placed in your Fonts folder. The PrintMusic installer automatically places the TrueType Maestro Fonts directly into your Fonts folder located in your System folder: the screen fonts and TrueType fonts are both placed in folders entitled PrintMusic Screen Fonts and PrintMusic TrueType Fonts. A full installation of PrintMusic installs both the PostScript and TrueType fonts in your system.

TrueType fonts allow you to print to non-postscript printers as well as resize smoothly in both printout and on screen. These screen fonts don’t resize smoothly on the computer’s screen, meaning that a 24 point font will look okay at 100 percent, but jagged at other point sizes, page reductions or view percentages. PostScript fonts have accompanying screen fonts which allow the user to have an idea what the font will look like in printout. A PostScript font does not appear on screen and will only print to PostScript printers, where it provides superior printed output. PostScript, TrueType and ATM (Adobe Type Manager)Īll fonts included with PrintMusic come with a Type 1 PostScript font (with a corresponding screen font) and a True Type font.
