Selectable Font Widths

The following Font Widths (CPI) are selectable by the operator:

4028 Fixed Width

Normally, IPDS Font Width is in terms of 1440ths of an inch (for example, 144, 120). However,

printer's control panel Font Width selection is more easily understood (and more universally used) as

Characters Per Inch. So the values will range from 5.0 cpi (Font Width 288) to 30.0 cpi (Font Width 48)

in increments of 0.1 cpi.

The resulting cpi will be translated internally to the nearest integer font width value. Since CPI is

inherently a reciprocal, 0.1 cpi increments will be a non-linear font width progression. This should not

prove a serious problem since default fonts for IPDS are not the primary selection path.

An extra note is that font widths for fixed width fonts are calculated differently than for typographic fonts.

Range in characters per inch

5.0 CPI - 30.0 CPI, in increments of 0.1 CPI.

Ignored. Handled internally because the FGID defines the size.
