Note

 

When selecting fonts, the different characteristics (symbol set,

 

 

spacing, pitch, etc.) are prioritized as shown in the table above, with

symbol set being the highest priority and typeface being the lowest. The font selection priority is the same for HP-GL/2 as for PCL font selection. For more information about the priority of font characteristics, see the “Font Selection by Characteristic” discussion in Chapter 8.

The following tables list the kind parameters with their associated values (note that these tables are also valid for the AD [Alternate Font Definition] command):

Kind 1: Symbol Set

The symbol set characteristic defines the set of characters to be used in the alternate font. For a complete list of symbol set values, refer to Appendix C of the PCL 5 Comparison Guide.
