Selecting PCL Fonts

PCL printer commands for selecting fonts can be found on the PCL Font List (page 82). A sample section is shown below. Notice the two variable boxes for symbol set and point size.

	These variables must be filled in or the printer will use defaults. For
	example, if you want a symbol set that contains line-draw
	characters, select the 10U (PC-8) or 12U (PC-850) symbol set.
	Other common symbol set codes are listed in the table on page D-7.
	Fonts are either “fixed” or “proportional” in spacing. The printer
Note
	contains both fixed fonts (Courier, Letter Gothic, and Lineprinter)
	and proportional fonts (CG Times, Arialâ, Times New Roman, and
	others).
	Fixed-spaced fonts are generally used in applications such as
	spreadsheets and databases, where it is important for columns to
	line up vertically. Proportional-spaced fonts are generally used in
	text and word processing applications.
