From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   outline font
  
      (Or "vector font") A {font} defined as a set of lines
      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.
