Mysterious Font Type Symbol
I am familiar with TrueType and OpenType, and the “TT” symbol and “O” symbol that appear next to fonts in Word. However I don't know what the other symbol that appears in the picture means. Is anyone familiar with the symbol and what it means? Thanks!

I found my answer!
This seems to be what all of the symbols mean. So the symbol I was looking for was for bitmap fonts. Can anyone explain what that means as compared to the other fonts?  TrueType  OpenType  Type 1 (PostScript)  Raster (bitmap)

O means it's an OpenType font; T means it's a TrueType font. There seems to be a problem with the others. The Gill Sans and Goudy groups are normally OpenType fonts and Helvetica can be either OpenType or TrueType, but it looks like it should be OpenType on your system.
