There are several ways to select the fonts: one way is to use the appropriate keys on the
printing system's control panel; a second way is to place a PRESCRIBE command in the
file to be printed, as in the examples in Chapter 1; a third way is to select a printing sys-
tem driver within a software application. This third way is preferable because the fonts
are integrated directly into the software. In the absence of this support, the user should
read the following information on choosing and placing PRESCRIBE commands.
The PRESCRIBE commands associated with font selection include:
•
FSET (change current Font SETting by characteristic)
•
SFNT (Select current FoNT by typeface)
•
ALTF (select ALTernate Font) and SETF (SET alternate Font)
•
SCF (Save Current Font) and RPF (Return to Previous Font)
•
SCCS (Save Current Code Set) and RPCS (Return to Previous Code Set)
