'c - h' are the Fonts Parameter Definition Command Group.
Escape sequences with the same beginning characters can be combined. To do this,
change the final letter of the first sequence from upper case to lower case and omit the
common characters. For example, combining proportional spacing, ESC(s1P, with
10 point character height, ESC(s10V , results in the following:
ESC(s1p10V
Keep in mind that there should be only one upper case letter in a combined sequence,
and that upper case letters must come at the end of the sequence. Also remember that
the commands are executed in the order in which they are given.
The following sample commands include the escape sequences that specify each
font's characteristics. In some cases it is not necessary to change fonts, but shorten the
specifications. Firstly, make sure that the new font you have requested (bold or italic,
for example) is available. Secondly, remember that a higher priority font
characteristic will override a lower priority one. In both cases, an error in specifying
a font may give unexpected results.
