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.
