| Also known as a vector
font or font scaling, a scaleable font is a font capable
of being increased in size without any
degradation in the quality of the font. A font that can be
manipulated to generate
characters
of
variable sizes. Unlike bit-mapped fonts, the size of the
characters can be changed without using a new file or set of
character. These fonts are stored as a series of mathematical
expressions that define the curves and lines of the characters.
Above is an example of scalable font vs. a bit-mapped font. As can
be seen in this example as we zoom into the scalable font there is no
degradation in the quality. However, it's the complete opposite when
we zoom into a bit-mapped font.
