Scalable Font Information - Paxar TC6037PR Reference Manual

S c a l a b l e F o n t I n f o r m a t i o n
The scalable font is smooth at any point size. There are no jagged edges
because the font is created from an equation every time it is used. The field
width varies with each letter.
When you define formats using scalable fonts, remember to set the
character rotation to 0, because it is not supported. However, field rotation
is supported for text or constant text fields using the scalable font. The
scalable font does not print a slashed zero.
The height and width magnification are defined in point size.
72 points = one inch. One inch = cell size. The cell size is the built-in
space around the individual characters of the scalable font. The point size
range is 4 - 250. If the height and width are not set to the same point size,
the printed characters look tall and thin or short and thick, which allows for
greater flexibility in the appearance of the font.
Scalable fonts perform better in constant text fields, because those fields
are imaged only once per batch, not once per label as in text fields. The
transparent overlay allows closer field placement when using scalable fonts.
The 72 point EFF Swiss Bold sample shows the one inch cell size.
