outline font and curves as opposed to a {bitmap font}. An outline font (e.g. {PostScript}, {TrueType}, {RISC OS}) 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. 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.
