HP-GL/2 Font Selection
In addition to selecting fonts using the PCL font selection commands,
fonts can also be selected and printed in HP-GL/2 mode using the
HP-GL/2 label commands (refer to Chapter 23, Character Group).
The HP-GL/2 font selection commands allow you to label vector
graphic images and to create some special effects with fonts not
otherwise available. These special effects include printing outline
fonts from fonts which are not outline style, printing mirror-images of
fonts, and printing fonts on any angle on the logical page. Fonts can
also be scaled using HP-GL/2 vector graphics, however this font
scaling method is rather program intensive and not the recommended
method (refer to “HP-GL/2 Vector Graphics” in Chapter 25 for
additional information).
