5. In the Size list, click the font size that you want.

6. In the Color list, click the font color you want.

TrueType fonts and OpenType fonts come with Windows. They work with a variety of computers, printers, and programs.

If you just want a font that prints well and is easy to read on the screen, then consider using a TrueType font. If you need a large character set for language coverage and fine typography, then you might want to use an OpenType font. If you need to print professional quality print publications, such as glossy magazines, or you need to do commercial printing, PostScript is a good choice.
