Omron NB-series Operation Manual page 113

(a) It supports a large variety of vector fonts. The TrueType font (only the font in ttf format) installed in
the operating system can be used.
(b) You can save the capacity of project file. It adopts the method of intercepting the matrix from the
font file, thus reducing the capacity of the font file. For the same character in the same font, only
one matrix needs to be intercepted regardless of the size, color, bold/italic styles.
(c) Rich font styles are available. Bold and italic styles are available for each kind of font.
(d) The font size can be set freely without any deformation. You can set the consecutive font sizes
without any projections.
(e) It supports powerful multiple languages. You can use it to set fonts for each state and each kind of
language of the text.
(f) The vector font can be used in the text library.
Use of Vector Font
The functions and components related to the vector font are as follows:
1
Text Library
Using the text library can realize the reuse of the text and the multi-language project.
The operation instructions related to the font:
(a) Maximum language number setup
The maximum language number can be set up to 32. If smaller capacity of project file is preferable,
set the maximum language number to the least necessary number.
(b) Default font setup for each language
The user can set the default font for each language, and when the user uses the text library, he
doesn't need to reselect the font each time.
2
Text Component
Text component can display the character information statically. And the user can use the multi-
language text when the text library is used.
(a) The text component can use 3 kinds of fonts, i.e. Bitmap Font , graphic font and vector font.
(b) In the text library mode, the text component can reset the font for each language by changing the
language displayed currently.
3
Label
Most of the components can use the label. The text string can be directly input and the text library
can also be used in the component label.
(a) When the text library isn't used, different fonts can be set for text string in each state.
(b) When the text library is used, fonts can be set for the text string of each language and in each
state.
4
Component dealing with numbers
Number components include number input component and number display component.
After the vector font is set for the number input component, the content of the number input
component will be displayed as vector font to realize the better display effect.
5
Component dealing with text strings
Text components include text string input component, text display component and note book
component.
