ClarisWorks: TrueType Versus Bitmap Character Shape Differences

TrueType versus Bitmap Character Shape Differences.

Note: This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Knowledge Base.
TrueType vs. bitmap differences:
With some characters, like a Geneva "y," the TrueType version is different from the bitmap version. For example, a TrueType Geneva 12 pt. "y" is poorly shaped.

MacDraw Pro info:
Unlike most other applications, MacDraw Pro always uses the TrueType font over the bitmap. So, a Geneva 12 "y" will look poor in MacDraw Pro but look correct in other applications. You can force MacDraw Pro to use the bitmap by removing the TrueType font from your System file.

Note: Geneva 12 is stored as a resource inside the System file in System 7.
