Symbol Sets and Character Maps

Symbol Set Selection

Scalable fonts are mapped through a symbol set sometimes referred to as a ‘code page’. This mapping allows the host application to select a variety of characters to match the application. For example in the code page CP, character code 0xE4 causes character Φ to be printed. In code page E7, the character code 0xE4 causes δ to be printed. Each of the code pages allows the host application to “emulate” a character set for their application. The code page (symbol set) is selected using a DPL Command, <STX>ySxx, where xx is the two letter code page Identifier.

Note: Not all fonts have an entire compliment of character codes for a given code page (symbol set).
