Scalable Font Information
The scalable font is smooth at any point size. There are no jagged edges because the font is
created from an equation every time it is used. The field width varies with each letter.
When you define formats using scalable fonts, remember to set the character rotation to 0,
because it is not supported. However, field rotation is supported for text or constant text fields
using the scalable font. The scalable font does not print a slashed zero.
Scalable fonts perform better in constant text fields, because those fields are imaged only once
per batch, not once per label as in text fields. The transparent overlay allows closer field
placement when using scalable fonts.
To use large point sizes (greater than 60), you must reconfigure memory and increase the size
of the scalable (vector) fonts buffer.
The height and width magnification are defined in point size.
72 points = one inch. One inch = cell size. The cell size is the built-in space around the
individual characters of the scalable font. The point size range is 4 to 255. If the height and
width are not set to the same point size, the printed characters look tall and thin or short and
thick, which allows for greater flexibility in the appearance of the font.
The 72 point EFF Swiss Bold sample shows the one inch cell size.
