PRESCRIBE Command Reference
248
binary-data:
font data (TrueType format)
Function
The RWER S command allows outline fonts (in TrueType format) to be downloaded to
the printing system and to be stored on the specified media as font data. TrueType fonts
particularly can be defined easily just by adding the TrueType font format as binary-
data.
Always explicitly terminate the end of font data using WRED;. The five bytes
represented by WRED; are not counted as part of the font data length.
Since value, style, weight and type-face represent font attributes they have an affect
during font selection. Although they may be omitted, we recommend that all parameters
be used to define font selection information.
In order to delete a Japanese TrueType font defined
us
ing this command, it is necessary
to delete two separate file names using RWER D, ’xxxxxx’ and RWER D,
’xxxxxx.inf’. Up to 512 fonts may be registered on a single memory card or up to
4096 on a single hard disk. Note carefully that registration beyond this limit will result in
data being interpreted as unneeded.
Only 28 characters are valid for Japanese T
r
ueType font names when font-type = 2 is
specified because the system automatically appends (P) for proportional fonts and (F)
for fixed pitch fonts.
A command error will result and the command has no effect if any of the parameters are
outside the given range. This command is ignored if even one parameter error occurs.
The font data following the semicolon for this command must match the length given by
length.
An error will result and the font data will not be defined if the data length is
shorter than specified.
