Font Characteristics
Fonts are made up of the following seven
characteristics:
characteristics:
Symbol Set A symbol set is a unique subgrouping
of all the available characters in a font. For
example, Roman-8 and IBM-PC, ECMA-94, ISO 25
are the symbol sets available with the PCL 5
mode. Each symbol set is designed with a
specific application in mind. Refer to
Appendix H for the symbol set tables.
of all the available characters in a font. For

are the symbol sets available with the PCL 5
mode. Each symbol set is designed with a
specific application in mind. Refer to
Appendix H for the symbol set tables.
Spacing All fonts are designed with either
fixed or proportional spacing. If the font
spacing is set for fixed, all character cells
are the same width regardless of the size of
the character being printed. If the font
spacing is set for proportional, character cell
width depends on the character size. For
example, a “W” is a wider character than an
“I.” If spacing is fixed, both the characters
(W and I) would be given the same sized
character cell and equal space on the printed
line. If spacing is proportional, the wider
character (W) is contained in a wider character
cell and given more space on the printed line
than the narrower character (I).

Pitch Pitch refers to the number of characters
that can be placed in a horizontal inch of
text. All fixed pitch fonts use a specific
pitch size. For example, a font with a pitch
setting of 10 prints 10 characters for every
that can be placed in a horizontal inch of
text. All fixed pitch fonts use a specific
pitch size. For example, a font with a pitch
