Select Symbol Set Command
Notes This index is used when the Default Font selected is
selectbyid. This allows for selection of fonts only on the
current resource. Selection of default font by index
overrides the symbol set value. The symbol set is
overridden if a bound font is selected as the default or if an
unbound font is selected that does not support the default
symbol set. If a font with the specified index exists, it is
selected as the Default Font. If the specified value does
not exist, courier 12 point is substituted.
Variable index #
Purpose Specifies the index number of the default font.
Range 0 to 32767
Default Selectbyid-dependent
Format Integer
Syntax %%IncludeFeature:symbolset (name)
Purpose Specifies the default symbol set for the emulation.
Notes This command specifies the default symbol set. Not all
symbol sets are available with certain resident fonts. In
particular, the Desktop, PS Math, Math 8, Microsoft Pub, Pi
Font, PS Text, Ventura Intl, Ventura Math, Ventura US, and
Windows symbol sets cannot be used with the resident
bitmap fonts: courier10, courier10bold, courier10italic,
courier12, courier12bold, courier12italic, and lineprinter.
The five dingbat symbol sets (PS-Zapf-Dingbats,
Ventura-Dingbats, Zapf-Dingbats100, Zapf-Dingbats200,
and Zapf-Dingbats300) can be used with all fonts. If a
mismatch between symbol set and font occurs, the
standard PCL font selection mechanism is used to locate a
font that matches the selected symbol set. With the
standard set of fonts distributed by QMS, this matches the
Times* font, but other user installed fonts could change
this result.
