z
Value
— Defines the properties of the characteristic specified by
the
kind
parameter.
Note
When selecting fonts, the different characteristics (symbol set,
spacing, pitch, etc.) are prioritized as shown in the table above,
with symbol set being the highest priority and typeface being the
lowest. The font selection priority is the same for HP-GL/2 as for
PCL font selection. For more information about the priority of font
characteristics, see the “Font Selection by Characteristic” discussion
in Chapter 8.
Note
To avoid duplication of many pages of tables, the tables listing the
kind
parameters (symbol set, spacing, typeface, etc.) are located
with the description of the SD (Standard Font Description) command.
The following example shows the command used to designate a
30-point
CG Times Bold Italic
font in the ASCII symbol set (use the
Select Alternate Font (SA) command to select this font after it is
designated):
Note that the
pitch
parameter is missing in the above command
because the designated font is proportionally spaced.
