2. Smooth Font, and Downloaded Bit-Mapped Fonts
This record type is used for internal smooth fonts (CG Triumvirate – see Table C-4) or a bit-mapped
font downloaded to a memory module (see Font-Loading Commands).
When 9 is entered in field b, then the height field eee determines the font. The internal smooth font
has up to 13 font sizes (see Appendix C). Values 100 through 999 select individual fonts stored in
DRAM or Flash memory. These include downloaded bit-mapped fonts; see Table 8-7. Use eee values
of 096 – 099 for Kanji fonts, if equipped (see Appendix I). The character mapping for these fonts is
shown in Appendix A or a subset thereof.

3. Scalable Fonts
The Smooth Scalable Font Technology has been licensed from AGFA. Both IntelliFont (.CDI) and
TrueType (.TTF) Scalable Font file formats are supported. The eee field identifies the scalable font,
and data type - normal (binary) or hex ASCII. Uppercase S or U - binary, lowercase u - Hex ASCII.
See Appendix I for additional information. Values S00 to S9z, and U00 to U9z (u00 to u9z), select a
scalable font, either internal or downloaded. S01 is used for the standard internal (resident) font.
