Type 1 Fonts
Thirty of the Type 1 fonts have different font selection parameters in the forward and
backward compatibility modes and 9 of the fonts work only in the forward compatibility
mode. With the appropriate printer driver installed and selected, your software
program selects these fonts.
The following table shows the font selection commands for forward and backward
compatibility modes and indicates the font group for each font. All Type 1 fonts are
supported by both the Hewlett-Packard Company’s LaserJet 4050 and the
Lexmark family of printers unless otherwise noted.
