(Sometimes you can change the style on the screen, but the variation won’t show up in your
output.)

Printing without a printer font
For best results, you should always format your text in the screen fonts that are appropriate
for your printer. Otherwise there’s no printer font for the printer to work with.
If you print without the correct printer font in the memory of the LaserWriter II, the printer
will still reproduce the screen font. With the Smoothing option on the results may be quite good,
but they won’t be as good as you would get with the correct printer font. For example, the
sentence below is in the Macintosh screen font Chicago, which does not have a corresponding
printer font.
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
Documents created using the Macintosh fonts Geneva, New York, and Monaco are an exception to
this rule. If the Font Substitution option is on in Page Setup, Geneva is automatically converted
to Helvetica, New York to Times, and Monaco to Courier. It’s still a good idea to work directly in
the final font, though, because the word spacing in your output may be too wide with a
substituted font.

Using Key Caps
The Key Caps desk accessory is a fast and easy way to preview fonts.
1. Choose Key Caps from the Apple menu. The Key Caps window appears, along with its title in
the title bar.
2. Type a phrase for display in the Key Caps window.
3. Pull down the Key Caps menu. You’ll see a complete list of all the fonts in your System file.
4. Drag through the list to select each font in turn.
When you want to see an example of the highlighted font, release the mouse button. The text in
the Key Caps window is converted to the font you’ve chosen. Note that you can’t specify the font
size in Key Caps—only the font family.
Key Caps is also a good way to explore the options available for each font. Display a font in the
Key Caps window, and then hold down the Option key. The keyboard is converted to the option
characters. Hold down the Shift and Option keys together, and the keyboard displays a different
set of options.

With the eleven font families built into your printer’s read-only memory (ROM), you can meet
most business and professional needs. The collection is introduced briefly here.
