Font Descriptor Size (UI)  
Specifies the number of bytes in the font descriptor. See the font 
header figure for the appropriate font descriptor size.
Header Format (UB)  
The Header Format byte identifies the font to format (see below).
Font Type (UB)   
Font type describes the font’s relation to symbol sets. (SI)  :  Signed Integer  (-32768  . .  32767)

Table 11-9 Font Type Values
Value Font Type
0  Bound font. Character codes 32 to 127 [decimal] 
are printable.
1  Bound font. Character codes 32 to 127 [decimal] 
and 160 to 255 [decimal] are printable. Table 11-7 Font Header Field Data Type Notation (continued) 
						

							11-16   Soft Font CreationEN
NoteAccess to those codes which are unprintable, yet have a character 
defined, requires the use of the Transparent Print Data command 
(refer to Chapter 8 for more information).
Style MSB (UI)     
The Style MSB (byte 4) is combined with the Style LSB (byte 23) to 
make the style word. The contents of the style word are described 
below. The Style word (decimal) is calculated using the formula:
Style Word = Posture + (4 x Width) + (32 x Structure)
The binary structure of the Style word is shown below.2  Bound font. All character codes 0 to 255 are 
printable, except 0, 7 to 15, and 27 [decimal] 
(see note below).
10  Unbound font. Character codes correspond to 
HP MSL numbers (for Intellifont unbound scalable 
fonts).
11  Unbound font. Character codes correspond to 
Unicode numbers (for TrueType unbound scalable 
fonts). Table 11-9 Font Type Values (continued)

NoteThe reserved bits (15 - 10) should be set to zero. 
If a value is requested, and a match not made, the request is ignored 
and the current font selection process continues as if the parameter 
was never requested (but it is saved in the attribute table). 
Example 
Assuming a font style of “italic compressed contour” is desired, the 
value (#) would be:
1 + (2×4) + (3×32) = 105
Baseline Position (UI)   
Bitmap Font - Specifies the distance from the top of the cell to the 
baseline. The baseline is the dot row on which all of the characters in 
a given line appear to stand (see ). The measurement of this distance 
is in font resolution dots, as defined in the Resolution Field of a 
Format 20 font header (default=300 dpi).
Intellifont Scalable - Specifies a Y-coordinate in the design window 
(refer to Figure 11-2.)
TrueType Scalable - Baseline Position must be set to zero.
Cell Width (UI)   
Specifies the width of the cell. The cell must be wide enough to 
accept the widest character. The cell width range is 1 to 65535.
Bitmap Font - Specified in PCL coordinate system dots.
Scalable Font - Specified in design units.
Cell Height (UI)   
Specifies the height of the cell. The design cell for a font must be tall 
enough to accept the tallest character and greatest descender. The 
legal range is 1 to 65535.
