QuickDraw GX: What Fonts Come With QuickDraw GX? (10/95)

What fonts come with QuickDraw GX, and to what extent can I use them?
Four QuickDraw GX fonts are installed by the QuickDraw GX installer:

* Apple Chancery
* Hoefler (Roman, Italic, Ornaments)
* Skia
* Tekton Plus Regular.

These fonts are designed to work with QuickDraw GX savvy applications in a QuickDraw GX environment. If they are used with QuickDraw GX disabled, they display on the screen fine, but they will not print properly or perhaps not at all. Sometimes the font will be substituted with another font, other times the printer will give a memory error.

To activate QuickDraw GX, turn on the QuickDraw GX extension with the Extensions Manager in your Control Panels folder and restart you Macintosh computer. To determine whether or not an application is QuickDraw GX savvy, contact the manufacturer of the application.
