Intrinsic fonts are distinct font styles built into font families, such as Times New Roman
MT Std Bd in the Times New Roman MT Std font family.
Simulated fonts are plain intrinsic fonts that have been modified to simulate bold, italic,

intrinsic font, you can apply the bold and italic type styles to allow your operating system
to perform a transform to create a bold or italic rendition of the font. The result is a
simulated font.
When you apply bold to a plain font, the application first tries to find an intrinsic bold
version of the font, and then if it can't find such a font, it creates a simulated bold version of
the font.

output problems. Simulated fonts display with a warning icon in the Measurements
