Using the Font Packet
You can use a font packet to add or clear downloaded fonts from
memory, upload your font buffer, font data, or the cell size
information for a particular font. The font packet is useful when
you are downloading fonts. If you are using downloaded fonts,
the font number and the number of bytes each downloaded font
uses is listed.
This packet does not list the number of bytes the standard printer
fonts use.
If you are creating fonts, you need to have font data included with
this packet. Software is available to download from our Web site
to create the font data and packet.
