CHARACTER GENERATOR
With this printer
you can create new characters
and symbols,
download
their dot data, and have them printed
in place of selected characters
in the
regular
character
set. Characters
that can be generated
in this way range
from simple but useful symbols like the check mark through
complex Chinese
or Japanese
characters.
The process
of designing
new characters
with
paper
and
pencil
is
somewhat
time-consuming.
The program
listed in this appendix
enables you
to do everything
on the computer
screen.
It also enables
you to maintain
disk files of character
data for downloading
when required.
The creation
of a car-shaped
symbol
as a draft
character
( 12~ ) and
near-letter-quality
character
( 6 ) is explained
below.
