What is a Type 1 PostScript Font?

Type 1 PostScript refers to the type of PostScript encoding used to recognize a font and its characteristics. Because the RIP process (see “What is localized styling and why is it bad”?) reads files by their PostScript code, a non-PostScript font is not recognized properly during this process. For this reason we will need to substitute any non-PostScript fonts, such as TrueType fonts, with a suitable matching font. Please note that this step does incur an extra charge. A good source for purchasing these fonts is Adobe’s Web site, www.adobe.com/type/.
