General Syntax Rules for Script File Directives

The following rules apply to directives in the script file:



A directive is a line that has a question mark (?) as the first nonblank character.



At least one space must separate directive parameters from the directive name

and from other parameters.



Directive names are not case-sensitive.



A font job begins with the FONT directive and consists of the following elements in

any quantity and in any order:

normal-font-data

?CONTROL

?CONTROLBUF

?SETMODE

START-FONT and END-FONT Directives

The START-FONT directive must be the first directive in the script file, because this

directive starts the required font description section. The END-FONT directive

terminates the font description section.

Considerations



All text, including other directives, preceding the START-FONT directive in the file

is treated as comments.



There can be only one font description section in a script file. There can be

descriptions of many fonts in that one section, however.



Any text between an END-FONT directive and a START-LOCATIONS directive is

ignored.

?START-FONT

?END-FONT
