One bit in the download character definition command is to be treated as a descender or not. We’ll get to the command in due time. For now, if your character uses the top eight dots, write in a one next to the word “Descender” on the layout grid; if it uses the bottom eight dots, write in a zero. In our example, we’ll want to the bottom of the flask to line up with the baseline of the other characters, so it will not be a descender. As shown in Figure 6-5, we’ve written in a “1” on out grid.

Figure 6-5.We’ve designed a character and decided that it woulc not be a descender, hence the “1”written in.

nRule 2: Dots cannot overlap

As you can see in Figure 6-5 our flask has a nearly continuous outline. But, you may ask, why not make it a really solid line and print all the intermediate dots, as shown in Figure 6-6? Because the dots that straddle the vertical lines in the grid actually overlap those inside the boxes. If we tried to print overlapping dots, the printhead would have to slow down and back up to print both dots - not very efficient! To avoid this inefficiency, this printer will not allow you to define a character like Figure 6-

6.(Actually, you can define it, but when it prints, your printer will leave out the overlapping dots, so that it would print like Figure 6-5.)
