Certain FGIDs will be immediately substituted by the Axis Network Print
Server. The substitution table depends on the selected IBM printer
emulation.
A selection of an unsupported FGID value will result in a substitution to a
default font. The Axis Network Print Server uses the same default fonts as
the emulated IBM printers.
This section deals with font width selections for typographical
(proportional pitch) fonts.
Note that when an unsupported typographical font (FGID range 512 -
65534) is selected, the resulting font will be a fixed pitch and the selected
font width value will be ignored.
When the default font width is selected, the Axis Network Print Server
will set a font width in one of the following ways depending on the
selected IBM printer emulation:
The font width is set to 67 (corresponding to a 10 point font).
The font width is set to the smallest available value for the selected FGID.
For FGID 16951 (Century Schoolbook), the resulting font width is 102 (12
points), and for FGID 5687 (Times Roman), the resulting font width is 40
(6 points).
If the selected font width (point size) is not available for the selected
FGID, the Axis Network Print Server will set a point size in one of the
following ways depending on the font:
The font width value is converted to a point size used to dynamically
scale the selected font. This means that you have a completely free choice
of point sizes (only limited by the host application) when printing with
these fonts.
The nearest smaller available font width for the selected FGID will be
used. If a smaller font width is not available, the nearest larger font width
will be used.
