Appendix D IBM Fonts
Font Selection,
Coax Printer
Emulations
Fonts can be indirectly selected by the IBM system using pitch
selection (CPI). In order to gain full access to the fonts the AXIS
5470e/570/670e offers an alternative font selection command. Please
note that matrix printers only support a few fonts.
Font selection commands may be included anywhere in your
documents. They begin with ‘percent-slash’ (
%/) followed by the word
FONT and the font number (Font Global Identifier, FGID). An
optional point size value, preceded by a comma, may be included. The
command is ended by a semi-colon (
;).
Example:
The following example shows how to select the 10 CPI Courier (fixed
pitch) font.

Emulations
Fonts are selected by a FGID (Font Global Identifier) and mapped to
a printer resident PCL font, selected to make a close match to the
original IBM font. The IBM to PCL font mapping is controlled by
the Font Definition Table. All entries in this table are fully editable,
and you can also add new entries.
