The symbol set defines the characters available in a font and the
numeric values with which they are associated.  Symbol sets are
designed for different languages and applications where special
characters are required.

Each font matches a specific symbol set.  Therefore, for a font to
be available in more than one symbol set, there must be a
separate version of the font in the printer for each symbol set. 

The Printer Status Sheet identifies a font as coming from the
following sources:

•

Resident, including the internal Laser Jet II ‘F’ cartridge

•

The left cartridge slot

•

The right cartridge slot

•

Downloaded as a Hewlett-Packard Soft Font. 

Spacing indicates whether a font is proportionally spaced or of
fixed pitch. Characters in a proportionally-spaced font have
varying widths (e.g., the letter “i” takes up less space on a line
than the letter “m.”).  Fixed-pitch characters, on the other hand,
occupy all the same amount of space. 

Pitch specifies the number of characters per inch (cpi) printed by
a fixed-pitch font. The pitch characteristic has no bearing on
proportionally-spaced fonts.

The height of a font is measured in points (1/72nd of an inch)
from the lowest descender to the top of the highest character
(excluding accents).

Style refers to whether characters are upright or italic.
