Berkeley Softworks offers a wide range of fonts from which
to
choose. Not
only can you use a variety of typefaces and styles, but you can use GEOS
fonts to create special characters
as
well, such as astrological symbols or
dinosaurs. You even can create your own fonts using the
geoFont applica-
tion.
The size of each font is measured in points. There are
72
points to an inch.
The actual height of characters printed using GEOS depends on the resolu-
tion of your printer.
For any given font and point size, you also can change the type style used to
print your text. Available styles are plain, bold,
italic,
onntninne,
underline,
superscript

If you look closely at the spacing between the individual letters printed by
most typewriters, you will notice that the letters are printed with a fixed
spacing. If you look at a professionally printed page you will notice that
the spacing depends on the shape of the letter. For example,
W
is wider than
i. This is called proportional spaced printing, which is what GEOS uses
for all text to enable you to create professional looking documents.
