Fonts can be indirectly selected by the IBM system using pitch selection
(CPI). In order to gain full access to the fonts the Axis Network Print
Server offers an alternative font selection command. Please note that
matrix printers only support a few fonts.
Font selection commands may be included anywhere in your documents.
They begin with 'percent-slash' (
font number (Font Global Identifier, FGID). An optional point size value,
preceded by a comma, may be included. The command is ended by a
semi-colon ( ).
;
The following example shows how to select the 10 CPI Courier (fixed
pitch) font.
%/FONT 11;This is 10 CPI Courier
Resulting printout:
This is 10 CPI Courier
Fonts are selected by a FGID (Font Global Identifier) and mapped to a
printer resident PCL font, selected to make a close match to the original
IBM font. The IBM to PCL font mapping is controlled by the Font
Definition Table. All entries in this table are fully editable, and you can
also add new entries.
Refer to DBCS Support, on page 197 for details on DBCS font types supported by the Axis
Network Print Server.
The fixed pitch fonts are not scalable. If a Point Size is specified, it will be
used to compress or expand the character spacing. (
compress the 10 CPI font to 10.5 CPI without changing the size of the
characters).
