I don't understand the difference between Scalable and Bitmapped fonts. If they both have "height" and "weight" parameters, doesn't that mean they are both scalable? Specifically, I am interested in the difference between ^A0N and ^ADN often cited in examples.

Scalable fonts have a much wider range of the height and width to choose from (i.e., from 1 to 32,000 in dots), while the bitmap fonts have a fixed set of values for the height and width (i.e., multiplier of 1 to 10 times the standard height or width).
