Fonts

and qualities like serif or sans serif, font size (like 12 point or 14 point),
bold or italic, etc.:
On this sign, the following fonts — called [SS7], [SS5], and [SRF] —
are available:
Also, any of the sign’s fonts can be made bold (or wider) by using the
WIDTH button.
To determine what fonts are available on your sign, see “Appendix A
