4.3 Text Fields

A single-line text fi eld consists of one or several alphanumeric characters
on the same line. There is no practical limit other than the size of the
printable area on the media. Text is not wrapped to a new line, but each
line must be specifi ed as a separate text fi eld.
A multi-line text fi eld consists of one or more lines with line-wrap and
hyphenation inside a visible or imaginary box
In addition to the instructions

Once a font has been specifi ed, it will be used in all text fi elds until a new
instruction is executed.
