Basics

This section describes the main features of the Sahafi window and tells you how to open and close documents.

Fonts

Sahafi support two basic font technologies: PostScript fonts, and TrueType fonts.

PostScript is a page-description language from Adobe Systems. PostScript fonts are outline fonts which can be drawn at various sizes and at various resolutions by PostScript printers.

TrueType is an alternative outline font technology. Just as with PostScript fonts, TrueType fonts may be drawn at any size and at any resolution without introducing jagged edges.


With Sahafi you can mix TrueType and PostScript fonts in the same document, although you should never use different versions of the same font in your document.

Touring the Sahafi window

The Sahafi window shows the current page and the tool palettes. The area around the page is called the pasteboard.
