Notes This index is used when the Default Font selected is selectbyid.
This allows for selection of fonts only on the current resource.
Selection of default font by index overrides the symbol set value.
The symbol set is overridden if a bound font is selected as the
default or if an unbound font is selected that does not support
the default symbol set. If a font with the specified index exists, it
is selected as the Default Font. If the specified value does not
exist, courier 12 point is substituted.
Variable
index #
Purpose Specifies the index number of the default font.
Range 0 to 32767
Default Selectbyid-dependent
Format Integer
Syntax %%IncludeFeature:symbolset
(name)
Purpose Specifies the default symbol set for the emulation.
Notes This command specifies the default symbol set. Not all symbol
sets are available with certain resident fonts. In particular, the
Desktop, PS Math, Math 8, Microsoft Pub, Pi Font, PS Text,
Ventura Intl, Ventura Math, Ventura US, and Windows symbol
sets cannot be used with the resident bitmap fonts: courier10,
courier10bold, courier10italic, courier12, courier12bold,
courier12italic, and lineprinter.
The five dingbat symbol sets (PS-Zapf-Dingbats,
Ventura-Dingbats, Zapf-Dingbats100, Zapf-Dingbats200, and
Zapf-Dingbats300) can be used with all fonts. If a mismatch
between symbol set and font occurs, the standard PCL font
selection mechanism is used to locate a font that matches the
selected symbol set. With the standard set of fonts distributed by
QMS, this matches the Times* font, but other user installed fonts
could change this result.
Variable
name
Purpose Specifies the symbol set name.
