CSI ? 2 9 h Sets Horizontal Pitch Select Mode.
CSI ? 2 9 1 Resets Horizontal Pitch Select Mode.
Description
When the selected font cannot be modified algorithmically to match
the pitch selected by DECSHORP, DECPSM defines whether to use
the pitch from the font, or to print the characters at an unnatural
pitch.
By extension, even if the font can be modified, DECPSM is used to
force the use of the natural pitch of the selected font and postpone
the processing of DECSHORP.
When DECPSM is set, received DECSHORP values are stored but not
processed. When DECPSM becomes reset, the pending DECSHORP (if
any) is processed.
If there is no concept of natural pitch implemented within the printer,
DECPSM is ignored.
Side Effects
DECPSM can cause a change in pitch such that a pending
DECSHORP may be executed. This results in the side effects
described under the DECSHORP command.
