Selecting PCL Fonts PCL printer commands for selecting fonts can be found on the PCL Font List which can be printed from the HP LaserJet Device Configuration (Windows) or the HP LaserJet utility (Macintosh). A sample section is shown below. Notice the two variable boxes for symbol set and point size: Note These variables must be filled in or the printer will use defaults. For example, if you want a symbol set that contains line-draw characters, select the 10U (PC-8) or 12U (PC-850) symbol set. Other common symbol set codes are listed in the Common PCL Printer Commands table. Fonts are either "fixed" or "proportional" in spacing. The printer contains both fixed fonts (Courier, Letter Gothic, and Lineprinter) and proportional fonts (CG Times, Arial, Times New Roman, and others). Fixed-spaced fonts are generally used in applications such as spreadsheets and databases, where it is important for columns to line up vertically. Proportional-spaced fonts are generally used in text and word processing applications.

Selecting PCL Fonts
PCL printer commands for selecting fonts can be found on the PCL
Font List which can be printed from the HP LaserJet Device
Configuration (Windows) or the HP LaserJet utility (Macintosh). A
sample section is shown below. Notice the two variable boxes for
symbol set and point size:
These variables must be filled in or the printer will use defaults. For
example, if you want a symbol set that contains line-draw characters,
select the 10U (PC-8) or 12U (PC-850) symbol set. Other common
symbol set codes are listed in the Common PCL Printer Commands
table.
Note
Fonts are either “fixed” or “proportional” in spacing. The printer contains
both fixed fonts (Courier, Letter Gothic, and Lineprinter) and
proportional fonts (CG Times, Arial
, Times New Roman
, and others).
Fixed-spaced fonts are generally used in applications such as
spreadsheets and databases, where it is important for columns to line
up vertically. Proportional-spaced fonts are generally used in text and
word processing applications.
