NOTES
Auto-smoothing (when enabled) is only effective if the character expansion rate is at
least (3) times in each direction.
Characters may be enlarged through the use of the Character Expansion (<ESC>L)
command.
Character spacing may be altered through the use of the Character Pitch (<ESC>A)
command.
A font must be defined for each field to be printed. There is no default font.
