HP 5961-0509 manual Font Number ULI, Initial HexValue Vendor Name, Agfa, Bigelow && Holmes

Font Number (ULI)

The Font Number field uses four bytes (byte 44, 45, 46, and 47). The lower three bytes (45, 46, and 47) contain the font number in hexadecimal. This is the number the vendor assigns to their typeface. The most significant byte (byte 44) consists of a flag in the most significant bit indicating whether the font is in its native (0) format or has been converted (1) from another format. The remaining lower seven bits contain the ASCII decimal value for the first initial of the font vendor’s name (this is assigned by Hewlett-Packard). The following initials have been assigned:

Table 11-23

Initial	HexValue	Vendor Name
A	41	Adobe Systems Inc.
B	42	Bitstream Inc.
C	43	&AGFA;
H	48	Bigelow && Holmes
L	4C	Linotype Company
M	4D	Monotype Corporation plc

For example, the number that Agfa assigns for a CG Times Bold Italic, native format, font is 92505. This number is converted to hexadecimal and used for the lower three bytes of the Font Number. Bit 8 of byte 44 is 0, since the native format is used and the lower seven bits are the ASCII value for “C” (C for Compugraphic; 0100 0011). This process is summarized below.
