SOFTWARE MANUAL C32
14.2.2.4 CHANGING TRACKING (letter spacing) AND LEADING (interline spacing)
Contrary to the requirements of the font, tracking and leading may be increased (positive values) or decreased (negative
values), e.g. for ligatures. The number of dots is stated which indicate by how much the spacing has to be changed based
on the unscaled font. This means, that scaling a text also changes the spacing accordingly. When enlarging a text,
additional white space is inserted towards the right neighbor character or the succession line. In case of a reduction
characters or rows are moved closer together. This may lead to an overlap of characters. Depending on the setting of the
frame attributes the left character sign or the top line are partly obscured.
Changing the tracking
[Command identifier]
SpacingW (short form SpW)
[Parameter]
Changing the tracking: integer
Changing the leading
[Command identifier]
SpacingH (short form SpH)
[Parameter]
Changing the leading: integer
14.2.3 FONT STYLE SELECTION
The default font style can be preset via the system parameters. For the formatting of characters within a ticket, the
following commands are available.
14.2.3.1 SUPPRESSING THE INFLUENCE OF FONT STYLE TO CHARACTER THICKNESS
[Command identifier]
CharstyleC (short form CsC)
[Parameter]
Boolean: T = thickness constant, F = thickness depending on font style
If the thickness remains unaffected, the tracking perceived by the eye may be influenced.
14.2.3.2 UNDERLINING
[Command identifier]
CharstyleU (short form CsU)
[Parameter]
Boolean: T = underlined, F = not underlined
14.2.3.3 VERTICAL ARRANGEMENT (SUBSCRIPT/SUPERSCRIPT)
[Command identifier]
CharstyleS (short form CsS)
[Parameter]
Code letter L, l, N, n or H resp. h:
•
L or l:
subscript (e.g. for indices)
•
N or n: in line
•
H or h: superscript (e.g. for exponential notation)
[Description]
A subscript or superscript text character will be scaled with the factor ½ relative to the default
text. If it is determined that the set width shall remain unaffected, the width of a standard text
character will be reserved regardless of this.
