Select And Print Downloaded TrueType Fonts
After downloading the TrueType font using any of the above methods, the
user can access the downloaded TrueType font by using the FONT;NAME
command as described in the PGL Programmer's Reference Manual.
For Example:

The font can also be chosen and printed through LP+ using the TrueType
Font Selection superset command as described in the LinePrinter Plus
Emulation Programmer's Reference Manual.

SSCC arial.ttf;
where SSCC is the superset control code for the current LP+ emulation.
