The three double-byte font parameters can be specified separately
using the following commands:
FONTD | FD “<font file name>”
FONTDSIZE | FSD <font size>
FONTDSLANT | FLD <font slant>
For each parameter, the value specified by these commands will be
used in all text fields on the current label, until a new value is speci-
fied. These parameters need only be specified if a
NASCD
file is
specified, as otherwise double-byte interpretation is disabled.
Example:
NASC 1
↵
NASCD "CARD1:BIG5.NCD"
↵
FONT "Swiss 721 BT",20,0
↵
FONTD "CARD1:CHINESE.TTF",20,0
↵
PP 100,100
↵
PT "NASCD ON: ";CHR$(185);CHR$(235)
↵
NASCD ""
↵
PP 100,200
↵
PT "NASCD OFF: ";CHR$(185);CHR$(235)

Double-byte fonts can also be used in the human readable parts of
barcodes. The corresponding commands are:
BARFONTD | BFD “<font file name>”[,<font size>,<font slant>]
<font file name>
the file name of the double-byte font to be use
<font size>
the height of the font in points. Default 12.
<font slant>
the italic angle of the font in degrees clock-
wise Default: 0.
Reset to default by:
PRINTFEED|PF
The bar code font size and slant can be specified separately using
the following commands:
BARFONTDSIZE | BFSD <font size>
BARFONTDSLANT | BLFD <font slant>
Double-byte interpretation of human readables is disabled unless a
NASCD file is specified. Also, note that many double-byte map-
pings use ASCII characters greater than 127, although these char-
acters are not allowed as input data to many bar code types. PDF
417 is one bar code type that does allow ASCII characters greater
than 127 as input.
