nese and Korean versions of Mac OS were also bundled with TrueType fonts appropriate

for the locale.

TrueType fonts do have many merits, such as their use of an excellent font-caching mecha-

nism that makes subsequent displaying—well, to be more precise, redisplaying—of glyphs

extremely fast.

Microso and Apple had further developed their (at the time, incompatible) TrueType

formats in order to incorporate what most people refer to as advanced typographic func-

tionality. ese technologies were known as TrueType Open and QuickDraw GX, respec-

tively. As noted in Chapter 6, QuickDraw GX subsequently became known as AAT. Also

as discussed in Chapter 6, TrueType Open eectively transitioned into OpenType.

Other Printing Methods

now, most likely due to the fact that you do not use an OS with built-in font rendering, or

do not own or otherwise have access to a PostScript CJKV printer. Fortunately, you will

mapped fonts.
