Typeface This 16-byte ASCII string appears in the "font print" of PCL
printers. Care should be taken to insure that the base string for
all typefaces of a family are consistent, and that the designators
for bold, italic, etc. are standardized.

File name This 6-byte field is composed of 3 parts. The first 3 bytes are an
industry standard typeface family string. The fourth byte is a
treatment character, such as R, B, I. The last two characters are
either zeroes for an unbound font or a two-character
mnemonic for a symbol set if a symbol set is found.
Examples:
TNRR00 Times New (text weight, upright)
TNRI00 Times New Italic
Character Set
Symbol set values are assigned by HP Boise Division. Unbound
fonts, or "typefaces" should have a symbol set value of 0. See
the PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual or
the PCL 5 Comparison Guide for the most recent published list
of codes.
In most cases all you need to do is to select one of pre-defined
values in the list to the right of the manual field. See below for
more information.

Complement
This 8-byte field identifies the symbol collections provided by
the font, each bit identifies a symbol collection and is
independently interpreted. Symbol set bound fonts should
have this field set to all F's (except bit 0).
