This section provides updated information on HP PCL 4 and PCL 5
DOC commands. This information will be merged into the appropriate
manuals as they are revised. But until then, it supersedes the
following:

A font is a unique set of objects that has an ID and attributes (symbol
set, spacing, pitch, height, style, weight, and typeface number). A font
is accessed by specifying a desired set of attributes. The system
selects the font that most closely matches these attributes from the
available set of fonts. See the
PCL 5 Emulation Technical Reference
Manual
for information on what characterizes a PCL font.
There are two types of fonts—bound and unbound. A bound font sup-
ports a single symbol set. An unbound font supports multiple, but not
all, symbol sets. With unbound fonts, the symbol sets are organized
into two groups—normal and Dingbats. All downloaded fonts are
bound, and all resident fonts (except Zapf-Dingbats which supports
the Dingbats symbol set) support the group of normal symbol sets.
In the QMS PCL 5 emulation, only fonts located in the current
resource may be accessed by a PCL font ID using the normal
<ESC>(#X sequence. All other fonts (resident, cartridge, or other),
including those stored on the additional resources, can be accessed
only by attributes.
Also, only objects stored in the current resource may be deleted
directly by the PCL language. Therefore, unless they are explicitly
removed, external fonts are always available to all PCL jobs.
