Appendix 6 CHAPTER This chapter shows print samples for different fonts, describes font information, including sources and font lists, and lists a summary of the specifications for the machine. Some Basic Facts About Fonts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6-2 What Is a Font? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .6-2 Attributes of Fonts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Some Basic Facts About Fonts This section summarises some of the basic facts you should know about fonts. What Is a Font? A font is a collection of letters and symbols used when printing a document. In general, a group of letters and symbols sharing a common design is referred to as a font. A font consists of the letters A to Z in both upper and lowercase, digits, and symbols. The design that distinguishes one font from another is referred to as a “typeface.
6 Typeface Typeface refers to the design of the characters and symbols. The following figure shows an example of some typefaces. ■ Typeface Courier ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Times ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Helvetica ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Stroke Weight Stroke weight refers to the thickness of the print. There are light, medium, and bold stroke weights. The printer function has medium and bold fonts available. The figure below shows an example of medium and bold printing.
6 Style Style refers to the shape of the characters. The printer function can print in two styles: upright and italic. With some fonts like Letter Gothic, the term “Oblique” is used in the same manner as italics. ■ Style Point size Point size refers to the height of the character. Point size is measured in points. One inch is divided into 72 points and 1 point is 1/72 of an inch (about 0.35 mm). The printer function has bit-mapped fonts and scalable fonts available.
6 Pitch (cpi) Pitch refers to the number of characters that are printed in one inch. The unit is cpi (characters per inch). As the number of characters per inch increases, the space between characters decreases; as the cpi decreases, the space between characters increases. ■ Pitch Character Width (Fix and PS) Each character has a different width from all the other characters in a font at a given point size. For example, “W” is a wider letter than “I.
6 ■ Fixed spacing and Proportional spacing Fixed spacing Proportional spacing Orientation Orientation refers to the direction of printing. The printer function can print using two different paper orientations: portrait and landscape. With portrait orientation, text is printed across the width of the paper (short edge), and with landscape orientation, text is printed across the length of the paper (long edge).
6 Symbol Set When you print the letter “A,” the host computer sends a code corresponding to “A” (hexadecimal 41 is an example of this) to the machine. This code is referred to as the character code. The machine stores an internal representation of each character, and selects from among these character patterns the pattern corresponding to the received code. In this case, the machine searches for the pattern for “A,” and prints it.
6 Bit-mapped Fonts and Scalable Fonts There are two types of fonts available, and these fonts are distinguished by the type of data from which they are formed. • Bit-mapped fonts • Scalable fonts Bit-mapped Fonts Each character of bit-mapped fonts are composed of grid of small dots and stored in the machine’s memory in dot matrix. Bit-mapped fonts are fixed in size and specified by the characteristics called “attributes,” such as typeface, stroke weight, style and so on.
6 Scalable Fonts With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from the one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments.
6 Standard Scalable Fonts (PCL) With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments.
