True type font

What is a true type font?

TrueType is a digital font technology designed by Apple Computer, and now used by both Apple and Microsoft in their operating systems. Microsoft has distributed millions of quality TrueType fonts in hundreds of different styles, including them in its range of products and the popular TrueType Font Packs.

TrueType fonts offer the highest possible quality on computer screens and printers, and include a range of features which make them easy to use.

The history of TrueType's development is discussed briefly in our History of TrueType document, which explains the various incarnations of the technology, as well as some of the reasons TrueType exists at all.
