ESC/P Command Reference 3.2 Characters This system uses single-byte character codes and is installed with 6 bitmap fonts (Letter Gothic Bold, Helsinki, Gothic, Brussels, San Diego and Brougham) and 4 outline fonts (Letter Gothic, Brussels, Helsinki and Gothic). Fixed pitch or proportional pitch can be specified for any of the fonts. However, there are fonts that are better with a fixed pitch and fonts that are better with a proportional pitch. The fonts that are better with a fixed pitch are: Letter Gothic and Letter Gothic Bold Brougham. The font that is better with a proportional pitch are: Brussels, Helsinki and Gothic San Diego. Each bitmap font has three sizes or four sizes: 16 dots, 24 dots, 32 dots and 48 dots. Please refer to section Appendix B:Specifications. 3.2.1 Character sizes Each font is available in full size, compressed size (half width), double width, double height and half width, double height, and quadruple size.
