Scalable/TrueType® Font Information
The scalable font characters print smoothly, without the jagged
edges you may see when bitmapped fonts are magnified.
Scalable/TrueType fonts are proportionally spaced (field width
varies with each letter).
Format Considerations
When defining formats with scalable/TrueType fonts, keep the
following in mind:
◆
While field rotation can be set to any value (0-3), character
rotation must be set to
0
.
◆
The slashed zero is not available.
◆
The minimum point size for all scalable/TrueType fonts is 4.
◆
The maximum point size for Font 50-CG Triumvirate Bold is 90.
The maximum point size for Font 50-EFF Swiss Bold and
downloadable TrueType fonts is 250.
◆
Field color (
O
-transparent overlay) allows closer field
placement (fields can overlap) without the loss of data.
◆
To use large point sizes (greater than 60), you must
reconfigure memory and increase the size of the scalable
(vector) fonts buffer.
The height and width magnification are defined in point size. 72
points = one inch. One inch = cell size. The cell size is the
built-in space around the individual characters of the scalable
font. If height and width magnification are not set to the same
point size, the printed characters look tall and thin or short and
thick, which allows for greater flexibility in the appearance of the
font.
The scalable font (font
50
) is not available on
the 9403, 9805, or 9820 printers.
