Axis AFP User’s Manual 47
Typographical Fonts
This section deals with font width selections for typographical (proportional
pitch) fonts.
Note that when an unsupported typographical font (FGID range 512 - 65534) is
selected, the resulting font will be a fixed pitch (see the table on the previous page),
and the selected font width value will be ignored.
Default Font Width
When the default font width is selected, the Axis AFP will set a font width in one
of the following ways depending on the selected IBM printer emulation:
IBM 4028/3916
The font width is set to 67 (corresponding to a 10 point font).
IBM 3812/3816
The font width is set to the smallest available value for the selected FGID accord-
ing to the font list in Section 5.3. For FGID 16951 (Century Schoolbook), the
resulting font width is 102 (12 points), and for FGID 5687 (Times Roman), the
resulting font width is 40 (6 points).
Scalable Fonts
If the selected font width (point size) is not available for the selected FGID, the
Axis AFP will set a point size in one of the following ways depending on the font:
Times Roman, Helvetica and Century Schoolbook
The font width value is converted to a point size used to dynamically scale the se-
lected font. This means that you have a completely free choice of point sizes (only
limited by the host application) when printing with these fonts.
Any other typographical font
The nearest smaller available font width for the selected FGID will be used. If a
smaller font width isn’t available, the nearest larger font width will be used.
