You are responsible for licensing the fonts that you purchase and install in
your printers. Contact your font vendor for licensing information.
These companies provide TrueType fonts compatible with Intermec
printers:

To create bitmap fonts from TrueType fonts, you must run PrintSet under
the correct language version of Windows. For example, to create a
Traditional Chinese font, you must run PrintSet under Traditional Chinese
Microsoft Windows. In addition, you must install the font using Microsoft
Windows in order for PrintSet to correctly convert it to a bitmap font.
Note: You can create Traditional or Simplified Chinese bitmap fonts up to
a size of 16 points at 400 dpi or 32 points at 200 dpi. The EasyCoder F4
and the PD/PF/PM/PX series printers do not support bitmap or TrueType
Chinese, Japanese, or Korean fonts.
For more information, see the PrintSet online documentation.
You can create user-defined characters and user-defined fonts for use in bar
code labels.
A user-defined character (UDC) is a custom graphic you can use in graphic
fields. For more information, see
Fields" on page 12.
A user-defined font (UDF) is a custom font you design yourself. UDFs can
be used in human-readable fields or in the interpretive field that
accompanies a bar code field. For more information, see
Readable Fields" on page 11
