90 HP DeskJet 600, 700, 800, 900 & HP 2000 Series PCL Developer’s Guide
11.0 Fonts
A soft font is composed of a Font Definition (font header) and a series of character definitions.
Both are described below. In order to use the standard bitmap font definition on a HP DeskJet
600 or 85X Series printers, the Font Descriptor Size field must be set to exactly 64. The First
Code and Last Code fields must also contain valid information. HP LaserJet printers do not
enforce these restrictions, and it is therefore common for developers leveraging code and
fonts from previous HP LaserJet development to experience problems.
