FONT SUPPORT AND SELECTION
set to match pitch, if spacing is set to fixed, and font
selection occurs.
•
The predefined table (refer to the “PCL font and IBM GFID”
appendix) is examined and a selection occurs when a match
is made. Horizontal Motion Index (HMI) is set to match
pitch, if spacing is set to fixed, and font selection occurs.
•
To make sure correct code point mapping is selected,
Symbol Set is matched to the active translate table, as
follows:
— If the GFID is below 400, fixed spacing is selected. A
font pitch, style, and stroke weight are specified (refer to
Table 4-12). The Horizontal Motion Index (HMI) is set to
match pitch, and font selection is made.
Specifically, the mapping involves the following steps
before font selection is completed:
– Pitch is selected.
– Style is set to upright.
– Stroke Weight is set to medium.
– HMI is set to match pitch.
— If the GFID is above 400, a typographic font is selected.
The point size and typeface are taken from the GFID,
divided in parts, using the following algorithm:
GFID number
=
XXXYY
XXX
=
Point Size
YY
=
Typeface ID.
Selecting COR fonts
The font width for the GFID is mapped to a related COR width
according to the COR font mapping (refer to Table 4-4). The
mapping involves the following steps before font selection is
completed:
•
Pitch is selected.
•
Lineprinter font is selected.
•
Style is set to upright.
•
Stroke Weight is set to medium.
•
HMI is set to match pitch.
