and typeset, and how they dier from their close cousins, pseudo-ruby glyphs.
Host-Installed, Printer-Resident, and Embedded Fonts
In the past, an important user and developer concern was how to map host-installed fonts
to printer-resident fonts. e host-installed font either needed to include information that
explicitly specied to which printer-resident font it corresponded, or else an OS-level da-
tabase had to exist that mapped host-installed fonts to printer-resident fonts. e sections
that follow describe how this font mapping took place on Mac OS, Windows (versions 3.1,
95, and 98), and to a limited extent, the X Window System.
e large size of typical CJKV fonts gave an advantage when mapping to printer-resident
