?, ??, ??? do not calculate position as @ .. say.
??? directly sends output to printer and also doesn't need extra formatting options. With fonts you do graphics printing which is slow. Generic text printing is faster than graphics printing (unless you have a really fast page printer).
PS:If your printer supports it you could set fonts with escape sequences which should be documented in your printer's manual.
