2. Smooth Font, and Downloaded Bit-Mapped Fonts

This record type is used for internal smooth fonts (CG Triumvirate – see Table C-4) or a bit-mapped font downloaded to a memory module (see Font-Loading Commands).

When 9 is entered in field b, then the height field eee determines the font. The internal smooth font has up to 13 font sizes (see Appendix C). Values 100 through 999 select individual fonts stored in DRAM or Flash memory. These include downloaded bit-mapped fonts; see Table 8-7. Use eee values of 096 – 099 for Kanji fonts, if equipped (see Appendi x I). The character mapping for these fonts is shown in Appendix A or a subset thereof.

Field	Valid Inputs	Meaning
a	1, 2, 3 and 4	Rotation
b	9	Fixed Value
c	1 to 9 and A to O	Width Multiplier
d	1 to 9 and A to O	Height Multiplier
eee	000 to 999 (000 to 099 Reserved), A04 to A72, x04 – x72*	Font/Size
ffff	0000 to 9999	Row
gggg	0000 to 9999; see Appendix J.	Column
jj…j	Valid ASCII character string up to 255 characters	Data
	followed by a termination character.
*Where x is an upper case letter; see Appendices H and K.

3. Scalable Fonts

The Smooth Scalable Font Technology has been licensed from AGFA. Both IntelliFont (.CDI) and TrueType (.TTF) Scalable Font file formats are supported. The eee field identifies the scalable font, and data type - normal (binary) or hex ASCII. Uppercase S or U - binary, lowercase u - Hex ASCII. See Appendix I for additional information. Values S00 to S9z, and U00 to U9z (u00 to u9z), select a scalable font, either internal or downloaded. S01 is used for the standard internal (resident) font.

Field	Valid Inputs	Meaning
a	1, 2, 3 and 4	Rotation
b	9	Fixed Value
c	1 to 9 and A to O	Width Multiplier
d	1 to 9 and A to O	Height Multiplier
eee	S00 to Szz, U00-Uzz, u00-uzz	Font Data Type
