5 Multinational Character
Sets
Introduction
The Multinational Character Set accesses one of many international character
sets. Each character set is 96 characters long and can be accessed by
configuration selection or IGP command. Individual characters in the font can
be accessed with the use of data bit 8.
Supported Character Sets
The Multinational Character Set provides the IGP/PGL with space for 32
character sets, 96 characters each. The character sets and their
corresponding set values are listed in Table 21.
Standard PGL sets 0 through 11 are resident character sets. Sets 12 through
23 are reserved spaces in font memory for future resident character sets. If a
value from 12 through 23 is called when attempting to choose a character set,
the character font will default to ASCII. Character set values 24 through 31
are reserved for user-defined sets. You can create custom character sets
from existing characters in font memory. If you select a set value from 24 to
31 when no new character set has been created or assigned that value, the
character font will default to ASCII.
Refer to page 257 for printouts of the primary and extended character sets
and their corresponding values.
