Printing with Character Paths
When a resident scalable (outline) font is selected, you can treat a character as a path and
add it to the current path. The PRESCRIBE command is CPTH (Character PaTH).
Paths created with the CPTH command can be either stroked or filled. See the following
example.
!R! RES;
UNIT P;
NEWP;
PAT 26;
SFNT ’Helvetica-Bd’, 54;
PMZP 72, 144;
CPTH "xyz";
FILL 1;
PAGE;
EXIT;
Figure 2. 35.
Character Path
Line 2 of this program sets the unit to printing system’s points (1 point= 1/72 inch), then
the NEWP command on line 3 empties the current path (if any), making ready for con-
struction of a new path. The PAT command on line 4 selects predefined pattern number
26 as the current fill pattern.
