Bitmap fonts are the main Amiga font format.
With either, or both, of these font systems installed, most Amiga applications that support the Amiga's native bitmap fonts, will also be able to use these formats.
There are two main kinds of computer fonts, bitmap and outline.

 The TrueType Font File
Apple makes a distinction between a "TrueType font" (which refers to a particular font outline definition technology) and an "sfnt-housed font," which refers to any font which uses the same packaging format as a TrueType font: that is, it uses the same directory structure and the same table format and meaning for any tables present.
The font directory, the first of the tables, is a guide to the contents of the font file.
Fonts may be non-TrueType sfnt-housed fonts and lack some of TrueType's required tables.

 Fonts in the X Window System
Outline fonts need to be rasterized into specific sizes; this may be done on-the-fly in the X server, or via a remote font server.
The X Window System font file formats can support up to 65,536 characters in a font, but not all font software works properly with these fonts.
X terminals store a very small set of fonts in read-only nonvolatile memory, and then when they are powered on, or rebooted, they fetch their operating system and other needed fonts from a remote server machine.

This project is aimed at producing a free software outline version of the classic bitmapped misc-fixed terminal fonts, with the same coverage as Markus G. Kuhn's extended ISO 10646-1 version of the screen fonts.
For PostScript the CID-keyed font format seems appropriate to handle large character sets such as ISO 10646-1 or Unicode, but the general support is limited to Level 3 devices, and is not yet implemented in this project.
The font is currently available in PostScript Type 1 format (.pfa and.afm files distributed).

 Outline font - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An outline font (or "vector font") is one defined as vector graphics, i.e.
The result of transforming a character in an outline font in a particular way is often saved as a bitmap in a font cache to avoid repeating the calculations if that character is to be drawn again.
Outline font characters can be scaled to any size and otherwise transformed more easily than a bitmap font, and with more attractive results, though this requires a lot of numerical processing.

 TeXtrace
TeXtrace is a collection of scripts for UNIX that convert any TeX font into a Type1.pfb outline font immediately suitable for use with dvips, pdftex, acroread (and any many other programs).
The main advantage of using Type1 fonts with TeX is that acroread renders TeX's bitmap fonts ugly on screen, but it renders outline fonts beutifully and fast.
Unfortunately most TeX fonts are available only in METAFONT format, and currently no good converter to vector outline font formats supported in PDF (such as Type1 or TrueType) exists.
