Symbol Sets
Your product can access a variety of symbol sets. Many of these symbol sets differ only in the
international characters specific to each language.
Note: Since most software handles fonts and symbols automatically, you may never need to adjust your
product settings. However, if you write your own product control programs, or if you use older software
that cannot control fonts, refer to these tables for details on the typefaces and symbol sets.
When you consider which font to use, also consider which symbol set to combine with the font. Available
symbol sets vary depending on the mode and font you choose.
