Notes This command specifies the default symbol set. Not all symbol
sets are available with certain resident fonts. In particular, the
Desktop, PS Math, Math 8, Microsoft Pub, Pi Font, PS Text,
Ventura Intl, Ventura Math, Ventura US, and Windows symbol
sets cannot be used with the resident bitmap fonts: courier10,
courier10bold, courier10italic, courier12, courier12bold,
courier12italic, and lineprinter.
The five dingbat symbol sets (PS-Zapf-Dingbats,
Ventura-Dingbats, Zapf-Dingbats100, Zapf-Dingbats200, and
Zapf-Dingbats300) can be used with all fonts. If a mismatch
between symbol set and font occurs, the standard PCL font
selection mechanism is used to locate a font that matches the
selected symbol set. With the standard set of fonts distributed by
QMS, this matches the Times* font, but other user installed fonts
could change this result.
