1.

OpenType Font

:-

OpenType fonts are the current standard in fonts. In an OpenType font, both the screen and printer font is contained in a single file (similar to TrueType fonts). They also allow for an extremely large character set, meaning that same single file can contain additional characters, languages and figures that might previously have been released as separate files.

TrueType Font :-

A TrueType font is a single file that contains both the screen and printer versions of a typeface. TrueType fonts make up the majority of the fonts that have come automatically installed on Windows and Mac operating systems for years.

3.

PostScript Font :-

A PostScript font, also known as a Type 1 font, has two parts. One part contains the information to display the font on screen and the other part is for printing. When PostScript fonts are delivered to printers, both versions (print and screen) must be provided.

Times New Roman

 Purdue Online Writing Lab says that Times New Roman is the most common business letter font. A serif font, Times New Roman can easily be read at many different sizes and appears professional for printed material. Times New Roman also remains the default font for many word processing programs. When using Times New Roman in a business letter, set the size as 12-point in order for the document to be read most easily.

Arial

 Arial can be used in professional letters, and is a good font for letters transmitted via email because it is a sans serif font, according to online resource Letter Format. A Sans Serif font doesn't contain decorative flourishes at the end of the strokes, states Letter Format. Arial can be read at small sizes and also is most commonly used at 12 point for professional letters.

Georgia

 Another popular serif font for business letter writing, according to Write Express, is Georgia. Since Georgia tends to be a little larger than Times New Roman, a user might decrease the size to 11-point.
