Specifications

• The loaded user-defined fonts are effective during execution of the user program
which loaded those fonts and during execution of the successive user programs
chained by the CHAIN statement.
• If you load a font to the same
kanjicode more than one time, the most recently
specified font takes effect.
• Only when the Interpreter executes the
KPLOAD statement, it refers to the array
data defined by
fontarrayname. So, once a user program has finished load-
ing the user font, changing the data in the array or deleting the array itself (by the
ERASE statement) will not affect the already loaded user font.
• An array integer variable--a work array, register array, or common array--for
fon-
tarrayname
should be declared by the DIM, DEFREG, or COMMON statement,
respectively.
DIM kp0%(15)
DEFREG kp1%(15)
COMMON kp2%(15)
The array variable should be one-dimensional and have at least 16 elements.
Each element data should be an integer and stored in the area from the 1st to
16th elements of the array.
• Also when the double-width, double-height, or quadruple-size is specified, user-
defined fonts loaded by the
KPLOAD will be effective. The system will enlarge the
dot pattern of each loaded font in double-width, double-height, or quadruple-size.
For details, refer to Chapter 7, Subsection 7.1.3 "Dot Patterns of Fonts."
■ Loading a user-defined cursor
KPLOAD loads a user-defined cursor data defined by cursorarrayname to the
user font area specified by kanjicode.
• To display a user-defined cursor loaded by the
KPLOAD, you set 255 to cur-
sorswitch
in the LOCATE statement in the two-byte Kanji mode. (LOCATE
,,255
)
• The loaded user-defined cursors are effective during execution of the user pro-
gram which loaded those cursors and during execution of the successive user
program chained by the
CHAIN statement.
• Only when the Interpreter executes the
KPLOAD statement, it refers to the array
data defined by cursorarrayname. So, once a user program has finished
loading the user cursor, changing the data in the array or deleting the array itself
(by the
ERASE statement) will not affect the already loaded user cursor.
