Chapter 7 Emulation matching features, reduces selection to a single font. The highest priority characteristic is symbol set, followed by spacing, pitch, point size, font style, stroke weight, and typeface. The LaserJet emulation (mode 6) adds resolution to this priority list. This additional priority is not available in the printing systems not supporting the 600/1200 dpi resolutions. For example, the printing system might face a font selection scenario of four near identical types of the Dutch801 font (by the KPDL emulation): • CGTimes (LaserJet compatible Intelli font) • Times (PostScript compatible font) • TimesNewRoman (LaserJet compatible TrueType font) These fonts have several common attributes and there is a possibility that selecting a Times may insert the TimesNewRoman font instead as a result of the internal font evaluation procedure. It is therefore important to understand how fonts are selected by the printing system. (See Chapter 4 for a discussion of the printing system's internal font evaluation.) The final (lowest) priority for font priority is the font source. The source refers to the place where the font is accessed. The following table shows how this characteristic is ordered. Ordering Source priority Priority within same source 1 Downloaded and LDFC-generated fonts Smaller font ID 2 Memory card fonts Top slot > bottom slot 3 Resident and optional fonts Alphabetic order Users should note two differences in the source priority of font selection. Ordering priority 1 uses the original HP method whereby the internal number assigned to a font would be evaluated and the lowest number given the higher priority. This method applies to fonts downloaded to the printing system and, any LDFC-generated fonts. Ordering priority 3 evaluates the font in alphabetic order. This method applies to the resident fonts and the KPDL fonts. An FRPO command (FRPO C8;) can modify this evaluation method by turning off evaluation of either the resident or scalable fonts, or KPDL fonts or both. The resident scalable fonts are not affected by this FRPO command. These fonts were designed by Agfa and observe the alphabetic ordering method used by Agfa. Regular and Dark Courier/Letter Gothic The stroke weight (bolding) of Courier and Letter Gothic is changeable between regular and dark. The default is regular and matches the Hewlett-Packard. It can be changed to dark which was the default stroke weight of Courier and Letter Gothic in order Kyocera printing systems by changing the FRPO V9 parameter. LaserJet Font Escape Sequences The example below shows an HP font selection escape sequence that selects a LetterGothic font with fixed-pitch, 12-cpi, 12-point, upright-style, normal stroke weight.
