User-defined Characters
Defining NLQ characters
NLQ characters use many more dots than draft characters;
therefore, the design grid and programs in this section are a little
more complex than those you use to design draft characters.
NLQ grid
Because the NLQ characters can use as many as 18 dots vertically
and
12
dots horizontally, you design the characters on a different
grid than the one used for draft characters. The figure below
shows an NLQ design grid.

On this grid, you can use any numbered line or space. This
includes the bottom line and the line on the right side. As with
draft characters, however, you should leave the two right columns
blank to create space between characters.
