Most font families include the euro character.At the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller, a font can exist inthree forms:Resident fonts A resident font is an internal font that is permanently stored on theXerox FreeFlow Print Server controller and is always available.Soft fonts An optional or soft font is a typeface that is loaded as needed atthe Xerox FreeFlow Print Server controller. This allows the PrintServer controller to be customized with special fonts, such aslogos, or other special font applications as needed.Downloaded font A downloaded font is a font that has its requirements embedded inthe actual source file.
