TrueType

TrueType is an outline font standard developed by Apple and Microsoft in the late 1980s as a competitor to Adobe's Type 1 fonts used in PostScript. It has become the most common format for fonts on both the Mac OS and Microsoft Windows operating systems.

The primary strength of TrueType was originally that it offered font developers a high degree of control over precisely how their fonts are displayed, right down to particular pixels, at various font sizes. With widely varying rendering technologies in use today, pixel-level control is no longer certain in a TrueType font.

History

The system was developed and eventually released as TrueType with the launch of Mac OS System 7 in May 1991. The initial TrueType outline fonts, four-weight families of Times Roman, Helvetica, Courier, and the Pi font replicated the original PostScript fonts of the Apple LaserWriter. Apple also replaced some of their bitmap fonts used by the graphical user-interface of previous Macintosh System versions (including Geneva, Monaco and New York) with scalable TrueType outline-fonts. For compatibility with older systems, Apple shipped these fonts, a TrueType Extension and a TrueType-aware version of Font/DA Mover for System Software 6. For compatibility with the Laserwriter II, Apple developed fonts like ITC Bookman and ITC Chancery in TrueType format.

    I guess you got a problem with affection, kinda loose with the love
    Gettin freaky with the thug niggaz up in the club
    Ask to buy you a drink, you holla Dom Perignon
    Knowin I'm a cash getter still I, remain calm
    Let you chill with me; plus you was smilin 'til the bill miss me
    That's what you get for tryin to dick me
    Missed me with that "Buy me this, buy me that" syndrome shit
    Bitch get a job if you wanna be rich
    Gettin mad cause I cursed and I scream I hate'cha
    Introduced you to a nigga nature, feel me?
    [Chorus: Lil' Mo]
    Kissed the girls, made them cry
    Thuggin life, and gettin high
    Why you gangsta, all the time?
    That's a thug's nature
    Though sometimes, I can deal with it
    I realize, that I'm feelin it
    It's a love and hate relationship
    but that's a thug's nature
    [add to line four of Chorus first time:] "That's a nigga nature"
    [2Pac]
    I'm probably too nice at first, I let you kiss me where it hurts
    Me and you gettin busy, slingin dick in the dirt
    Met you at a pool party it was cool to kick it
    See us, tounge-kissin, you was truly with it
    Little ecstacy, Hennesey, mix with me
    Picture me pay for pussy when the dick's for free
    Hey now, where my niggaz at? Tell these hoes
    Before I pay; I jerk off, word to Moses
    Visions of you sittin there sweaty and wet
    Pointin to the places that you want me to hit
    Give me room all up in the womb, call the cops
    Nigga, hittin walls 'til them bastard drop
    Label me Makaveli - thug nigga with bite
    Livin life like a rock star's Friday night
    Make money, get pussy, always keep a pager
    Cell phone in the ride to complete my nature now!
    [Chorus]
    [2Pac]
    Haha.. started as a seed from the semen; straight outta papa's nuts
    Lustin for creamin - bitches with big butts
    Curves make a nigga cry, tits and shit
    When I'm locked down beggin you for porno flicks
    Sneak weed in, help a nigga pass the time
    Put my name tattoo'd so that ass is mine
    Tell everybody; 'Pac put it down for good
    A local legend through the whole hood, follow me
    I got a gun on me, goin for none on the run baby
    You know a nigga need some, is my son crazy?
    Why I cry, when I be thuggin til I die
    Picture a nigga in heaven, high off weed I fly
    Got me missin dead homies wishin phonies would die
    Hit the weed and hope it get me high; dear God
    Understand my ways, livin major
    Blessed with a thug's heart.. and a real live nigga nature
