Scalable Font Information
The scalable font is sooth at any point size or magnification.
There are no jagged edges as in the standard printer bitmapped
fonts. Therefore, the field height and width varies with each letter.
When you define formats using scalable fonts, remember to set
the character rotation to
0
, because it is not supported. However,
field rotation is supported for text or constant text fields using the
scalable font.
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. The minimum point size is 4 and the maximum point size is
90. 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 72 point EFF Swiss Bold Font sample shows the one inch cell
size.

Scalable fonts perform better in constant text fields, because
those fields are imaged only once per batch, not once per label as
in text fields.
The scalable font does not print a slashed zero.
The transparent overlay allows closer field placement when using
scalable fonts.
