Default = 3
Range = 0 to 65535 (unavailable values are ignored)
Vendor Number (bits 11-14) - This HP-assigned value is between 0 and 15.
Vendor Version (bits 10, 9) - This value is between 0 and 3. It will change when the vendor
changes the width of a font or adds new characters to a font. A vendor code of 0 is reserved
for generic typeface selection so that older one-byte typeface values can still be used in the
generic typeface selection process.
Typeface Base Value (bits 0 to 8) - This value is between 0 and 511. Some of these values
include appearance width and structure information (i.e., Helvetica Compressed and Helvetica
Outline, etc.).
A typeface family value in which both Vendor and Version numbers are 0 is reserved for
generic type- face selection. That is, for typeface family values less than 512, the printer
exactly matches the LSB typeface base value field. For typeface values greater than or
equal to 512, the printer uses the full 16-bit typeface word.
PROCEDURE:
Typeface Family = Typeface Base Value + (Version x 512) + (Vendor x 2048)
The HP typeface number for Agfa’s Dom Casual typeface is 4157 (vendor value=2, version
value=0, and type- face value = 61).
61+(0x512)+(2x2048)=4157
