Font • A font is a set of printable or displayable text character s in a specific style and size Types of fonts: • Raster Fonts In a raster font each element is defined as a little bitmap designed for a specific resolution. They are not scalable like vector based fonts. Nowadays raster fonts are mostly used for MS-DOS-based applications and onscreen display in user interface elements. • Vector Fonts A vector font descibes each letter or symbol as a series of geometric shapes, rather than as rows of dots (like a bitmap font). They can easily be resized without losing quality. • PostScript Type 1 Fonts PostScipt Type 1 fonts (also known as "PostScript fonts" or "Type 1 fonts") are traditionally used by graphic designers and publishing professionals. If you are one of them or would like to feel like them, select PostScirpt. Be aware that to use these fonts in Windows 98 or ME and in Mac OS 9 or earlier you need to have ATM installed. Adobe launched PostScript Type 1 together with PostScript Type 3 in 1984. This scalable font technology became very popular among desktop publishers, but is now phasing out as OpenType fonts are the future • TrueType Fonts TrueType is a scalable font technology designed by Apple Computer, available since 1991 (Apple's Macintosh System 7). Apple traded the technology with Microsoft and became available on Microsoft Windows 3.1 in 1992. of the font. For example, a different file is needed for normal, bold, italic, bold italic, etc. TrueType typefaces are generally intended for business office use and can be less reliable for publishing applicationsTruetype fonts only require one file to be submitted but a separate file needs to be submitted for each instance With TrueType fonts, the printed output is identical to what appears on the screen. Another advantage of TrueType fonts is that the characters can be scaled to any size. OpenType Fonts The OpenType font format is an extension of the TrueType font format, allowing support for PostScript font data. Technically there are two OpenType Font flavours; TrueType based (.ttf) and PostScript based (.otf). OpenType was developed jointly by Microsoft and Adobe to produce a hybrid between Type 1 and TrueType fonts, with additional features that work on Macintosh and Windows computers. OpenType fonts can include the OpenType Layout tables, which allow font creators to design better international and high-end typographic fonts. System Fonts System fonts are critical for your system, without them your system might become unstable. Within MainType you are not allowed to uninstall, unload or delete active system fonts. Although Microsoft has no public list of such fonts, MainType identifies these fonts as system fonts.

Unicode provides a consistent way of encoding multilingual plain text making it easier to exchange text files internationally History of Unicodes • In 1984, a joint ISO(International Organization for Standardization )/IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission ) working group was formed to begin work on an international character set standard that would support all of the world’s writing systems. This became known as the Universal Character Set (UCS). By 1989, drafts of the new standard were starting to get circulated. Unicode defines a total of seven encoding schemes: • UTF(Unicode Transformation Format)-8 • UTF-16BE • UTF-16LE • UTF-16 • UTF-32BE • UTF-32LE • UTF-32 कम्प्युटर पर यूननिंकोड में टाइप करने के विभिन्न तरीके पहला तरीका (Indic Input method Editor (IME) के प्रयोग से मंगल (यनू िकोड) फॉन्ट में टाइप करिा How to Use Mangal font as a Unicode Font: Step 1.
