Notes

Use the Font ID command to designate a unique ID number prior to the download of a font header. If an existing font is already associated with this ID, the existing font is deleted upon the download of the font header. Unless otherwise specified, inappropriate values in a font header field invalidates the font download process; a font is not created and the associated font data is discarded.

Intellifont scalable font formatting also requires the Intellifont Scalable Typeface Format document, which supplements the information provided here. For information on how to obtain this document, refer to “Related Documents” in the front of this manual.

The figures that follow illustrate the font header formats for the various font classifications. The individual fields for the font headers are described following the figures.

Although some LaserJet printer models do not use all of the data in the font header and thus ignore many of the fields, a font creator should use valid values in all of the font header fields. This ensures font compatibility across the LaserJet printer family and with future printers, which may use these fields.

Those font header fields identified as “reserved” should be set to zero.
