Software Support Although all the characters and symbols shown on the
tables are printable, your software might not support
some of them. Check your software documentation
to see which symbol sets are supported. Look for
phrases such as “code pages,” “extended characters,”
and “character sets.”
Typeface Support Typefaces are designed to include limited
combinations of characters and symbols. Some
typefaces, such as Wingdings, support only one
specific symbol set. Other typefaces, such as CG
Times and Univers, support almost all of the
controller’s available symbol sets.
Use Table D-2.1 and Table D-2.2 to determine which
symbol sets to use with the typefaces you have
chosen. These tables also contain information to help
you select symbol sets through your software
application using PCL commands.
Note Symbol sets other than those described here are
available with various software products, such as
word processors, spreadsheets, and desktop
publishing programs.
