4.18.1 FONT SIZE

Basically, the mobile computer allows two font size options for the system font: 6x8 and
8x16. These options are also applicable to other alphanumerical font files (for single byte
languages), such as the multi-language font file and Hebrew/Nordic/Polish/Russian font
files.
The LCD will show 6x8 alphanumeric characters by default.

In addition to the system font, the mobile computer supports a number of font files as
shown below. Available font size options depend on which font file is downloaded to the
mobile computer.
