Software Symbol Set Availability
There are two things you should know about symbol
set availability:
1. Your software may support all of your
controller's symbol sets, or just a few of them.
Refer to your software documentation for more
information on what symbol sets, character sets,
or code pages it supports.
2. Typefaces are designed to work with specific
symbol sets. For example, the Arial typeface
design does not include characters to support the
Math-8 symbol set.
Refer to Appendix D, PCL Symbol Sets, in this
manual to see which symbol sets work with the
typefaces you are using.
Entering Symbols into Text
If you want to print a symbol such as infinity (
you must first select the symbol set that contains that
character.
For example, the sign is character #236 in the PC-8
symbol set (see Appendix D, PCL Symbol Sets).
Your software documentation will contain
instructions for entering special symbols into your
text. Look in the software documentation's index for
phrases such as "compose feature", "composite
characters," "symbol sets," "character sets," "code
pages," or "extended characters."
