Chapter 2 Code V Font Selection

Code V Font Selection

Since Code V runs on top of another emulation, the Code V Language has the ability to print either emulation fonts or Code V fonts. When Code V is turned on via the ^PY^- command, it sets the out of pass font to the 10 CPI Draft emulation font using the character set selected on the Control Panel. Code V has the ability to select different kinds of fonts via Code V font commands. These font commands and their effect(s) are listed below:

^IFONT,S# If issued inside a pass, the specified font is changed for the duration of the pass. If issued outside a pass, the font is changed to the specified Code V font both inside and outside passes.

^S#	Valid only inside a pass, this command changes the font of the
	characters in the current pass to the specified Code V font.
^#	Valid only outside a pass, this command changes the font of the
	characters outside passes to the specified Code V font.
^@C	Valid only outside a pass, this command changes the emulation
	font, thus affecting Code V outisde of pass characters and
	characters printed after exiting Code V.

Code V Character Set Selection

All emulations and Code V have two character sets: upper (eigth bit high) and lower (eigth bit low). For all Code V fonts, the default lower character set (characters 20 - 7F hex) is US and the default upper character set (characters A0 - FF hex) is Latin1. Complete charts for the US and Latin1 character sets are available in Appendix F, Table 46: on page 287.

The CVCC font lower character set may be selected within Code V by using the ^IISO command. The Code V font upper character set cannot be changed and is always Latin1. Changing the character set via the control panel does not alter the Code V character sets. The effects of the ^IISO command are described below.

•When ^IISO is sent inside a pass:

The selected ISO character set (also called language in the Code V manual) lasts only until the end of that pass.

•When ^IISO is sent outside a pass:

The selected ISO character set is used both inside and outside passes until Code V is exited. Also, upon re-entering Code V, the ISO character set selection made during the previous Code V session is retained.

To form an ISO character set, ^IIISO only changes 12 characters from the lower US set. These 12 character differences are shown for each ISO character set on page 47.
