8.10 True Type fonts
In VKP80III emulation, it is possible to use TrueType fonts. To be used, a TrueType font must be monospace type (every
character of the font must have the same dimension). The check is made by the device when the font is selected.
TrueType fonts will be automatically scaled by the device in order to obtain the same available width for the embedded
fonts (11, 15 and 20 cpi).
The quality of TrueType fonts, the correct positioning into the printable area and the available code tables, will result from
the font producers and the font implementation.
For the correct printing of the code tables, it is necessary that the selected TrueType font contains all the characters in
the tables. Otherwise, the '�' symbol will be printed instead the missing character. All commands for printing coniguration
are usable both with TrueType fonts and with embedded fonts. It is possible to address the TrueType font respects the
UNICODE™ standard (see www.unicode.org), by using UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoding.
