ABSTRACT:
Fonts for use in printing documents are dynamically generated as they are required for printing. Preferably only those characters from the font which have been used in the document are dynamically generated in bitmap form and sent to the printer prior to data for identifying and positioning the characters on the page. The dynamically generated bitmaps may be retained by the printer for use in printing subsequent pages and documents. Less data per page needs to be sent to the printer and the sending of full-page bitmaps may be avoided.
