HP-UX 11i v3 International Printing Features

• An XLFD font name

Because the psfontpf print filter uses the Unicode character map (cmap) in the TrueType font, old

TrueType fonts without a Unicode cmap section are not supported. When a TrueType or a PCF bitmap

font is specified, additional font attributes can be appended after the font name, separated by

commas. The supported font attributes are as follows:

• cs=codeset

Specifies the codeset name for the bitmap font only.

• vs=vertical-shift

Specifies the vertical shift factor (default=0) that is used to shift the character up (positive) or down

(negative).

• sf=scaling-factor

Specifies the scaling factor (default=1) that is used to scale the font larger (> 1) or smaller (< 1).

For example, the font=/tmp/sjis.pcf,cs=SJIS option specifies a bitmap font called

sjis.pscf, which is encoded in the Japanese SJIS encoding.

Like the PCL5.asian model file, the psfontpf print filter also supports the use of the umap file to

specify code to UDC font mapping. However, TrueType fonts are supported only through the direct

specification of the font file pathname in the umap file. Scalable XLFD names that can be accessed

only via the X font server are not supported.

The psfontpf print filter does not support the specification of additional font paths for looking up XLFD font. The only way to add font paths is

through the use of user configuration file.
