HP-GL/2 Font Selection

In addition to selecting fonts using the PCL font selection commands, fonts can also be selected and printed in HP-GL/2 mode using the HP-GL/2 label commands (refer to Chapter 23, Character Group). The HP-GL/2 font selection commands allow you to label vector graphic images and to create some special effects with fonts not otherwise available. These special effects include printing outline fonts from fonts which are not outline style, printing mirror-images of fonts, and printing fonts on any angle on the logical page. Fonts can also be scaled using HP-GL/2 vector graphics, however this font scaling method is rather program intensive and not the recommended method (refer to “HP-GL/2 Vector Graphics” in Chapter 25 for additional information).
