Chapter 4 Fonts 4-6 Substituting a Bitmap Font The printing system does not contain any bitmap fonts except LinePrinterBM8.5- Roman. If the printing system receives a request for the bitmap fonts that the previous lineups of the printers supported (tabled on page 4-4), a scalable font is substituted. For example, if Dutch801BM10-Roman, which means a Dutch 801 style bitmap font of 10-point and Roman-style and was resident to the previous models of Kyocera printers, the printing system substitutes a Times Roman style scalable font. Other options include weights for bold and italic . The following table lists the bitmap fonts and the bitmap font numbers that the previous lineups of Kyocera printers support.The Kyocera printing system behaves exactly in the same manner when it receives these font numbers. It substitutes the scalable fonts for these fonts when required.

Font Selection 4-7 Font Selection There are several ways to select the fonts: one way is to use the appropriate keys on the printing system’s control panel; a second way is to place a PRESCRIBE command in the file to be printed, as in the examples in Chapter 1; a third way is to select a printing sys- tem driver within a software application. Th is third way is preferable because the fonts are integrated directly into th e software. In the absence of this support, the user should read the following information on choo sing and placing PRESCRIBE commands. Font Selection by PRESCRIBE Commands The PRESCRIBE commands associated with font selection include: • FSET (change current Font SETting by characteristic) • SFNT (Select current FoNT by typeface) • ALTF (select ALTernate Font) and SETF (SET alternate Font) • SCF (Save Current Font) and RPF (Return to Previous Font) • SCCS (Save Current Code Set) and RPCS (Return to Previous Code Set) LetterGothicBM12-Italic 50 27 12 12 LetterGothicBM12-Bold 9 28 12 12 LetterGothicBM12-BoldItalic 51 79 12 12 LinePrinterBM8.5-Roman 88 — 8.5 16.67 Swiss721BM14.4-Bold 10 29 14.4 Prop.

Chapter 4 Fonts 4-8 • CSET (Change current symbol SET) • FTMD (set bitmap FonT MoDe) • FONT (select current FONT by number) • SFA (Set bitmap Font Attributes) The FTMD and SFA commands are only valid with bitmap fonts (which are simulated by resident scalable fonts). The following is a guideline to the use of these commands. Also, these commands are fully detailed in PRESCRIBE Command Reference . Selecting Fonts Using the SFNT Command Use the SFNT command to specify a font by typeface or to assign a font number to a scalable font, making it possible to select a scalable font with the FONT command (See Selecting Fonts with the FONT Command on page 4-10.). For example, to print text us ing the scalable Times font (TimesNewRoman) at 10 points, use the following sequence: !R! SFNT ’TimesNewRoman’, 10; EXIT; Here, TimesNewRoman represents the typeface name and 10 represents font height in the unit of points. Note that the SFNT comm and recognizes all character heights in terms of points, regardless of the specified unit value. The SFNT command is particular ly useful when you want to assign the font number to a scalable font and alter its appearance by compressing, expanding, or obliquing it. The following example selects a scalable Dutch font , sizes it to 10 points, assigns it the font number 1001 and the Roman-8 symbol set, co mpresses it to 90 percent of its normal width, and obliques the font so that it tilts forward at an angle of 13.5 degrees. !R! SFNT ’TimesNewRoman’, 10, 1001, 277, .9, .3; EXIT; In this sequence, the assignment of font number 1001 enables it to be selected using the FONT command. Once this assignment has been made, it remains effective until changed with another SFNT command or until the power is turned off. Following the font number assignment, value 277 selects the symbol set Roman-8. A full list of symbol sets and values app ear on the SFNT command page in PRESCRIBE Commands Command Reference . The value .9 following the symbol set parameter indicates compression to 90 percent of normal width. Compression can be specified in a range from 0.3 (30 percent) to 3 (300%). Finally, the value .3 concluding the font se lection sequence specifies a forward tilt of 13.5 degrees. The angle for norma l characters is 0. Negative values result in backward- tilting characters. The angle parameter accep ts any value from –1 (–45°) to 1 (45°). Examples appear below. Compression = 0.3 Compression = 1 Compression = 3 Angle = –1Angle = 0Angle = 1 Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
Font Selection 4-9 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 sel ecting 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 high- est to lowest as follows: In selecting a font, the printin g system searches the available fonts to match a character- istic based on the highest priority. If this matching produces only one font, that font is selected. If many fonts match this highest prio rity, then matching begins with the next highest characteristic. The printing system continues going down the list until only one font is left, then th at 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 identi- cal font on a memory card, an d a memory card font has a lowe r 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 print- ing 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 followe d by a CSET (Change current symbol SET) command which selects the desired HP sy mbol set. In the example below, the Win- dows symbol set is selected. CSET 9U; HP symbol set values can be refere nced on the CSET command page in PRESCRIBE Commands Command Reference .

Chapter 4 Fonts 4-10 Selecting Fonts with the FONT Command The FONT command uses font numbers to select fonts. A scalable font does not nor- mally have the font number, therefore, you must take one extra step using the SFNT (Select FoNT by type face) command. See Selecting Fonts Using the SFNT Command above. For example, to select the 10-point TimesNewRoman which was assigned with font number 1001, command: !R! SFNT ’TimesNewRoman’, 10, 1001; FONT 1001; EXIT; Bitmap Font Mode If you use a bitmap font, a change in fonts can also affect the character spacing, line spacing, and page orientation. This depends on the font mode (FTMD). With bitmap fonts, setting the font mode to 15 enables the printing system to adjust all these parame- ters automatically. When you select font 23 (landscape Prestige EliteBM10-Roman), for example, the printing system automatically changes the character spacing to 12 charac- ters per inch, the line spacing to about 7.25 lines per inch, and the page orientation to landscape. Remember that the font mode is only valid for bitmap fonts. Scalable fonts always adjust to the current page orientation. Also, with scalable fonts, you must use a line-spacing adjustment command to set the innate line spacing for the new font. Each emulation has a default font mode for bitmap fonts which takes effect when the emulation is enabled. Font mode 15 is the default font mode of the Line Printer emula- tion. The other emulations have lower default font mode values. If you use a variety of bitmap fonts, you will probably find font mode 13 most conve- nient. In font mode 13 char acter spacing and orientation are always correct, and the line spacing remains constant when you change fonts. Font mode 13 is the default font mode of the LaserJet emulation. To select font mode 13 in the other emulations, place the fol- lowing sequence at the top of your program or file: !R! RES; FTMD 13; EXIT; (Place FTMD after RES, because RES resets the font mode.) One reason for selecting font mode 13 over font mode 15 is that a self adjusting line spacing feature can create disastrous affects wi th software applications designed to han- dle line spacing without the assistance of PRESCRIBE. For lower font mode, such as the default font modes in emulation modes 1 through 5, spacing and orientation adjustments may be n ecessary when you change fonts. Use the following commands: SCS (Set Character Spacing) or SCPI (Set Characters Per Inch), to adjust the character spacing, SLS (Set Line Spacing) or SLPI (Set Lines Per Inch), to adjust the line spacing, SPO (Set Page Orientation), to adjust the page orientation. The following sequences both use the FONT 19; command to select the 10-point Dutch 801 font with landscape orientation and propo rtional character spacing. Neither sequence affects the line spacing. !R! FONT 19; SPO L; SCS 0; EXIT; or Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
Font Selection 4-11 !R! FTMD 13; FONT 19; EXIT; For making many font changes within a document, use the ALTF (change to ALTernate Font) and SETF (SET alternat e Font) commands instead of FONT. To switch repeatedly between fonts 6 and 8, for example, place th e following sequence at the beginning of your document: !R! SETF 1,6; CMNT PrestigeEliteBM10-Roman; SETF 2, 8; CMNT LetterGothicBM12-Roman; EXIT; Then use !R! ALTF1; EXIT; within the document to select font 6 and !R! ALTF2; EXIT; to select font 8. The advantag es of ALTF and SETF are that: • The numbers are easy to remember (1 and 2 instead of 6 and 8). • All the font number assignm ents are collected in one place, where they can be easily checked. • If you change your mind and decide to us e LetterGothicBM12-Bold (font 9) instead of LetterGothicBM12-Roman, all you have to change is one SETF command (from SETF 2, 8; to SETF 2, 9;). In emulation modes 1, 2, and 5, the SETF co mmand can team up in a very effective way with embedded word-p rocessing commands. See Chapter 7 for details. The SCF (Save Current Font) an d RPF (Return to Previous Font) commands enable font numbers to be managed in stack fashion. Thes e commands are particularly useful at the beginning and end of macros, and when you are using embedded commands of word- processing software. To ensure that the saved fo nt is retrieved with the correct code set, add the SCCS (Save Current Code Set) and RPCS (Return to Previous Code Set) com- mands to the SCF and RPF command, respectively. For instance, to select a font using embedded commands , you can save the current font, call a new font, enter the text and return to the previous font, as in the following sequence. !R! SCF; FONT 7; EXIT; (Text of footnote... ) !R! RPF; EXIT; This sequence leaves the current font, prints the footnote in font 7 (PrestigeEliteBM7.2- Roman), then returns to the previous font. Placement of Font Commands It is important to note that most existing word-processing software will not recognize PRESCRIBE font selection commands. Howeve r, this software typically accommodates embedded print commands whereby the PRES CRIBE command placed in a document is recognized as a print command and not as document text. The following command sequence demonstrates the embedded commands which might appear in a document. Example of an appropriate command placement: ... end of previous paragraph. !R! ALTF 2; EXIT; Title or Heading !R! ALTF 1; EXIT; Start of next paragraph ... The first ALTF command appears on a blank line. The second ALTF command is placed at the end of a short title or heading, so that it fits on the same line and does not affect the line count. Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
Chapter 4 Fonts 4-12 Font Selection by Embedded Commands Word-processing programs with IBM and Epson printer drivers include support for a set of specific typefaces. The Kyocera printing syst em internally assigns these typefaces to match similar typefaces already in the printi ng system. Kyocera users may reassign these fonts to create a custom font list. To make this change, refer to the SETF command in PRESCRIBE Commands Command Reference . Word-processing programs that support the Diablo 630 printer use embedded ribbon- color commands. The printing system translates these internally into ALTF commands. By placing two SETF commands at the top of a file, you can designate any two desired fonts by ribbon-color commands. Word-processing programs that support the LaserJet printer have font description com- mands. Kyocera printing systems understand these commands. You can use them to select any of the fonts in the printing system. When you select fonts by selecting your software’s own commands, your software rec- ognizes the command and is not thrown off in its tracking of characters per line or lines per page. The IBM, Epson, and LaserJet emulations support enough embedded com- mands to meet nearly all font selection needs. Only in the Line Printer emulation must you rely wholly on PRESCRIBE commands for font selection. Details on font selection by embedded command appear in Chapter 7. Creation of New Symbols and Characters With a little work, it is possible to design completely new bitmap characters by con- structing their dot maps. This technique can be used to obtain special characters and symbols not provided in any of the symbol sets. The relevant command is the LDFC (LoaD Font Character) command. One LDFC command defines one character, speci fying its font number, character code, dimensions, orientation, and bit map. An entir e new font can be created by specifying an LDFC command for each character. The co mmand format appears as follows. LDFC font , code, height , width , y-offset , x-offset , cell width , center , rotation, resolution ; bit map ; Some of the dimension parame ters are specified in dots (1 /300 inch). Other dimensions are specified in micro dots, a unit of measurement equal to 1 /32 of 1 dot. These units are used regardless of the unit set by the UNIT command. The rotation parameter is a non executable parameter. It does not change the orientation of the charact er. Instead, it tells the printing system what the character’s orientation is, so that the printing system can adjust the page orientation correctly (when the font mode is 8 or higher), and can select the font in response to embedded word-processing commands for a particular rotation. The rotation parameter should be the same for all characters in the font. The bit map can be constructed by drawing the character on square-ruled paper (shown at right) and proceeding as explained below. To demonstrate, we shall encode the bit map for a small diamond-shaped ch aracter (the figure below). Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
