Host-installed TrueType fonts are Mincho and Gothic typefaces for ja_JP.SJIS/ja_JP.eucJP/ja_JP.utf8
locales, Batang and Dotum typefaces for ko_KR.eucKR/ko_KR.utf8 locales, Sun and Hei typefaces for
zh_CN.hp15CN/zh_CN.gb18030/zh_CN.utf8 locales, and Ming typeface for
zh_TW.ccdc/zh_TW.big5/zh_TW.eucTW/zh_TW.utf8/zh_HK.hkbig5/zh_HK.utf8 locales. The character sets
of these TrueType fonts comply with country and regional standards.
When the specified locale is utf8, the PCL5.asian model tries to use as many country typefaces as possible to
print multilingual text.
Impact to the Customer
A larger set of Asian characters is available to the customer for printing when using Asian UTF-8 locales.
Compatibility
Backward compatibility has been preserved.
Performance
Accessing host-installed TrueType fonts may require time to rasterize and download characters to the printer.
Documentation
The option -ooptions to the lp command will show the list of available print options for the PCL5.asian
model.
Future Plans
Printer models will be updated to correspond with support of later Unicode versions in upcoming HP-UX
releases.
