Note

The reserved bits (15 - 10) should be set to zero.

 

If a value is requested, and a match not made, the request is ignored

 

and the current font selection process continues as if the parameter

 

was never requested (but it is saved in the attribute table).

 

 

Example

Assuming a font style of “italic compressed contour” is desired, the value (#) would be:

1 + (2×4) + (3×32) = 105

Baseline Position (UI)

Bitmap Font - Specifies the distance from the top of the cell to the baseline. The baseline is the dot row on which all of the characters in a given line appear to stand (see ). The measurement of this distance is in font resolution dots, as defined in the Resolution Field of a Format 20 font header (default=300 dpi).

Intellifont Scalable - Specifies a Y-coordinate in the design window (refer to Figure 11-2.)

TrueType Scalable - Baseline Position must be set to zero.

Cell Width (UI)

Specifies the width of the cell. The cell must be wide enough to accept the widest character. The cell width range is 1 to 65535.

Bitmap Font - Specified in PCL coordinate system dots.

Scalable Font - Specified in design units.

Cell Height (UI)

Specifies the height of the cell. The design cell for a font must be tall enough to accept the tallest character and greatest descender. The legal range is 1 to 65535.
