PV – Outline Font Format
This command formats outline (scalable) font fields. The location coordinates
are specified in 1/10 mm units. The font type can be set to either a fixed pitch
or a proportional font. The fonts are printed at the configured size in 1/10 mm
units. Data to be printed can be included in this command or supplied
separately through the RV command.
If a scalable font with Font-ID H, I, or J (as supported on newer TEC printers)
is required, the font must be downloaded to the printer first. To ensure that the
size and pitch matches the output of TEC printers, the font must be bought at
www.myfonts.com, and converted to a download file using the cnvt2fls utility.
Use following table to select the correct font(s) and printer file name.
