Font Selection The parameters for symbol set, compression, and obliquing must be either all specified or all omitted. Selecting Fonts Using the FSET Command The FSET command provides a method of selecting fonts based on font characteristics and font location in the printing system. Font characteristics upon which selection is based appear in order of priority, from highest to lowest as follows: Characteristic Symbol set Spacing Pitch Point size (height) Style Stroke weight Typeface family Location Orientation Priority of selection Highest 2 nd 3 rd 4 th 5 th 6 th 7 th 8 th Lowest In selecting a font, the printing system searches the available fonts to match a characteristic based on the highest priority. If this matching produces only one font, that font is selected. If many fonts match this highest priority, then matching begins with the next highest characteristic. The printing system continues going down the list until only one font is left, then that font is selected. A font may reside in any of three locations: printing system ROM (for resident fonts, and option fonts, if installed), memory card (for card option fonts), and printing system RAM (for downloaded fonts). A font in printing system ROM has lower priority than an identical font on a memory card, and a memory card font has a lower priority than an identical font in printing system RAM. Also, assuming all other characteristics are the same, a scalable font has lower priority than a bitmap font (simulated). The last characteristic checked is the font orientation. If two fonts are found that differ only in orientation, the one selected is that which matches the page orientation. If only one font remains and its orientation does not match the orientation of the page, the printing system rotates the font to match the page orientation. The example below shows an FSET command sequence that selects the 12-point, upright, normal-weight, CGTimes font. (The FSET command sequences for selecting the resident fonts appear on the font lists.) FSET 1p12v0s0b4101T; The FSET command sequence may be followed by a CSET (Change current symbol SET) command which selects the desired HP symbol set. In the example below, the Windows symbol set is selected. CSET 9U; HP symbol set values can be referenced on the CSET command page in PRESCRIBE Commands Command Reference. 4-9
