Character Map Selection

Double-byte scalable fonts are mapped through a ‘character map’. This mapping allows the host application to select a variety of characters to match the application. Each of the code pages allows the host application to emulate a character set for their application.

The double-byte symbol set is selected using the <STX>yUxx command.
