Using PostScript Fonts
Point size
Point size describes the vertical height of a font. This unit of
measure originated with typesetting, and is a useful term to
describe type size. A point is 1/72 of an inch.
The figure below shows several point sizes of the same font: 8, 10,
14, 18, 24,
and 36-point Times Roman. The resident fonts provided
with your printer can be scaled to almost any point size, depending
on your software.

Special effects
One of the most special features of the PostScript language is the
ability to print text at any angle, called rotation. Font rotation is
especially effective in desktop publishing applications and in
graphic presentations.
