Problem

Solutions: Font: In digital typography a font is the electronic description of a particular typeface, weight, and style, such as Helvetica Bold Italic. Some define a font as the combined result of typeface, weight, style, and size, but this meaning is outmoded. Fonts come in two varieties: A bitmapped font describes characters as fixed patterns of pixels, limiting its utility to a single size, such as Times Roman 10pt Italic. An outline (or scalable) font traces its characters using complex mathematical equations, enabling one to scale the characters to virtually any size and even edit their outlines in programs such as CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator.

Font Converter: A program that converts a digital typeface from one format to another (e.g., from TrueType to PostScript Type 1.)
