Delta-Hinted Screen
Fonts
Bitstream has developed a core set of 13 fonts that provides a high-quality
screen solution, benefitting developers of digital devices, information
appliances, and embedded systems.
The core set of delta-hinted fonts include:
- Courier 10 roman, italic, bold, and bold italic
- Dutch 801 roman, italic, bold, and bold italic
- Swiss 721 roman, italic, bold, and bold italic
- Symbol Set
Delta hinting involves fine tuning fonts so that they look good
on the screen, even at small point sizes on low-resolution devices.
Delta-hinted fonts assure the digital clarity of text no matter
where it is being displayed. The fonts are targeted for use in applications
and devices that rely on the digital displaying of information at
low resolutions or small sizes, such as handheld devices, personal
digital assistants, and other embedded systems and information appliances.
In the example below, the top line of each point size is not delta-hinted.
The second line is the clean, delta-hinted version.

With delta hinting, the result is fine-tuned text that is easier
to read, particularly at small point sizes and on low resolution
devices such as computer monitors. |
