FONTNUMBER
(continued)
If the value of the FONTSOURCE
changes, then the FONTNUMBER
variable automatically is changed to the
lowest numbered font in the new font
source (0 if the new font source
contains a default-marked font; 1 if it
does not). If the SYMSET variable
changes, the FONTSOURCE and
FONTNUMBER default to the highest
priority default-marked font (lowest
numbered font). When the printer
searches for the highest priority
default-marked font, cartridges have the
highest priority, then SIMMs, then
internal default-marked fonts
(downloaded soft fonts have the highest
priority, but there cannot be a
default-marked soft font). NOTE: the
recommended order for setting
FONTNUMBER, FONTSOURCE, and
SYMSET is SYMSET first, then
FONTSOURCE, then FONTNUMBER.
Also, if the currently set font source is S
while the currently set font number is
the highest-numbered soft font, and a
soft font is deleted, the FONTSOURCE
variable is changed to the next highest
priority font source containing a
default-marked font. The
FONTNUMBER variable is tied to both
the FONTSOURCE and SYMSET
variables.
