The instruction is ignored if the parameter is ignored or different from the two allowed, and it only
affects subsequent labels.
3.1.5 Font
The language offers a selection of fonts that can be chosen as necessary (see section 4.1 on page 47
for their specifications). It is possible to set a default font: in this case, all alphanumeric fields will
be in the font selected if not otherwise specified. Or, it is possible to set the type of font for each
field.
The following commands permit you to determine the type of font and some of their features.
^CFt,a,l (Change Default Font)
This command makes it possible to chose the machine default font. After this command, all fields
are printed with the selected font (as well as their height and width) until the next ^CF or ^Ax
command.
t is a letter between A
38 and H or zero (
∅) and identifies the font type (see section 4.1 on page 47).
a is a whole number between 0 and 9999 39 and indicates the height of the character expressed in
dots.
l is a whole number between 0 and 9999
40 and indicates the width of the character expressed in dots.
If one of the two height (a) or width (l) parameters is omitted, the other is forced proportionately.
Thus, if a width double the normal dimension for that font type is specified without indicating the
height, the latter is also assumed to be doubled in order to preserve the proportion of the character.
If both parameters a and l are omitted, the default values or those of the last ^CF command received
are applied.
The fact is that the language does not allow all possible heights for non-scalable fonts (those from A
to H). Approximations of multiples of the whole numbers closest to standard sizes are used for the
dimensions set with parameters a and l. Referring to table 5 on page 47, if the selected height of font
A is 16, the language forces the height to 18, which corresponds to double the standard height (9 x
2).
^Axr,a,l (Alphanumeric Font)
This command lets you select the font field by field.
x is a letter between A and H and identifies the font type (see section 4.1 on page 47).
r is one of the following four letters and indicates the clockwise rotation of the field:
N normal rotation of 0° 41
R rotated by 90°
I inverted by 180°
38 Default value.
39 The default value is specified, font by font, in table 5 on page 47.
40
See note 39.
41
The default value is N or generally the last value received with the ^FW command described on page 10.
