Symbol Set
4-15
• CSET (Change symbol SET)
• SFNT (Select current FoNT by typeface)
The CSET command selects a symbol set by specifying its identification code which
closely resembles the command parameters of the HP printer control language. In the
example below, the Windows symbol set is selected.
CSET 9U;
The CSET command may be preceded by an FSET font selection command. Remember
that the symbol set has the highest priority in font selection. The following example still
selects the ISO-4 U.K. symbol set for the Swiss742SWC-Roman font in the HP LaserJet
emulation:
!R! UNIT P;
FSET 1p12v0s0b4148T; CMNT 4148 means Universe;
CSET 1E; CMNT ISO-4 U.K.;
EXIT;
The SFNT command, primarily used to select and size a scalable font as stated previ-
ously, also provides the parameter that specifies a symbol set for the font. It has the fol-
lowing format:
SFNT ’typeface’[, height[, font-number[, symbol-set, compression, angle]]];
In the above format, the symbol-set parameter specifies the symbol set for the font desig-
nated by typeface. The symbol-set value must be given together with the compression
and angle parameters. In the example below, the symbol-set value 37 assigns the ISO-4
U.K. symbol set to the Universe medium font.
!R! UNIT P;
SFNT ‘Universe-Md’, 12, 2000, 37, 1, 0;
CMNT 37=ISO-4 U.K.;
EXIT;
The symbol set values are tabled in LaserJet Symbol Sets in Chapter 7.
