SL - Character Slant
SL [ tan
φφ
] [;]
tan
φ
- tangent of character slant angle (
φ
)
•
This command determines the slant of characters printed with subsequent LB commands.
• φ
is the angle between characters and the vertical. A positive value of
φ
( and tan
φ
) produces forward
sloping characters, while a negative value results in characters which slant backwards.
•
Values of tan
φ
are clamped real numbers.
•
A value of 0 for tan
φ
results in upright characters.
•
If you omit the parameter, tan
φ
is take to be 0 and any characters printed will be upright.

SB - Scalable or Bitmap Fonts
SB [
n ] [;]
n : font category selection
•
This command enables you to restrict the range of selectable fonts to scalable fonts and the stick font only.
•
n can be 0 or 1. If n = 0 you may only select scalable fonts (or the stick font). If n = 1 you may select any
type of font.
•
An SB command can alter the current standard and alternate font selections.
•
Setting n to 1 allows the selection of bitmapped fonts and has the following side-effects:
•
Bitmap characters cannot be edged.
•
Bitmap characters can only be printed in orientations of 0°, 90°, 180° or 270°.
•
The SL (character slant) command is not applied to bitmap fonts.
•
Bitmap font character sizes are approximate only.
•
The DF and IN commands set n to 0, - only scalable fonts and the stick fonts may be selected.
•
The FI and FN commands implicitly set n to 1 if you use either of them to select a bitmap font.
•
If you omit n from the command, only scalable fonts and the stick font may be selected. This is equivalent
to an SB0; command.
•
The default setting is scalable fonts and stick font only.
