1.16 Fonts
A font is a character set which has a unique type style, type size, and orientation. Both fixed
and proportionally spaced fonts are available for use on an PRISMAproduction LCDS-Mod-
ule. Each font character occupies an area called a character cell. All character cells in a
fixed font are the same width. Character cells in a proportional font vary in width.
Character spacing
Because the length of a line printed with a proportional font is relatively unpredictable, fixed
fonts are used for variable data on a report to avoid overprinting of forms by variable data.
Proportional fonts are normally used for forms data, such as titles and headings. A business
letter is an example of the use of proportional fonts for variable data.
Character spacing examples
Fonts are available in various families (for example, OCR and Titan), sizes, and faces me-
dium and bold.
In addition to typeface, style, and size, a font can be defined by its orientation:
•
Landscape
•
Portrait
•
Inverse landscape
•
Inverse portrait
