Font Select Table

The initial font specification in a job should be made using all of the font characteristics.

To select a Roman-8, fixed-spaced, 10 pitch, 12 point, upright, bold, Courier font, for the current page orientation, specify each of the characteristics using font selection escape sequences. Once the characteristics have been specified, the font select table appears as follows:

Symbol Set

Roman-8

 

 

Spacing

Fixed

 

 

Pitch

10 cpi

 

 

Height

12 point

 

 

Style

Upright

 

 

Stroke Weight

Bold

 

 

Typeface Family

Courier

 

 

To subsequently select a font with the same characteristics differing only in one aspect, only the single characteristic must be specified. For example, to select a font differing only in stroke weight (in this case, medium rather than bold), the printer’s font select table could be changed as follows:

Symbol Set
