What is the difference between ordering different weights of a font and just ordering the regular weight and pressing the ‘Bold’ and ‘Italic’?

0

When you buy just one weight of a font and use the commands for bold, italic and bold italic in your word processor, you may or may not notice a difference on your screen. If you do notice a difference, it is because your word processor electronically altered the appearance of your font to look like a bold, italic or bold italic weight. The appearance of such electronically altered fonts, both on the screen and on a printout, can vary, and some printers will not print them at all. When you buy the bold, italic and bold italic weights of a font, you are buying the versions which have been designed, constructed and mastered to best work with the regular weight, both on screen and on printouts.
