Font support and selection
This chapter describes font support and the relationships
between IBM and Xerox fonts.

The ability to install customized translate tables and cross
reference tables between IBM and Xerox fonts provides you with
flexibility for utilizing fonts to suit your individual requirements.

Supported fonts
Your Xerox MRP Family coax printer provides font support for
most of the printers it emulates. Support is provided for three
categories of fonts:

categories of fonts:
•
Fixed pitch fonts—Your printer supports fixed pitch fonts
matching the fixed pitch capabilities of all the IBM printers
emulated.

Proportionally spaced (PS) fonts—Your printer provides
support for proportionally-spaced fonts using the same PS
width values as those used by IBM, thus ensuring a match
with IBM PS fonts.

The supported fonts are the PCL fonts and the 3816 emulation
fonts. In the event the 3816 emulation fonts are not resident on
your Xerox MRP Family coax printer, the interface card will use an
appropriate PCL resident font. Refer to the “IBM GFID to PCL
fonts attribute” appendix for the appropriate PCL resident font to
use.

your Xerox MRP Family coax printer, the interface card will use an
appropriate PCL resident font. Refer to the “IBM GFID to PCL

use.
While the PCL font closest to the requested font is used by the
printer, this algorithm may not choose a font with the exact
characteristics for the desired output. To have your output
exactly match that of a 3816, download the compatibility font
set. Otherwise, differences may be observed in margins,
justification, and data running off the page.

Included fonts
Your MRP printer equipped with an internal coax interface is
shipped with a set of fifty five 3816 emulation fonts. These fonts
are supplied on 9-track tapes shipped with the printer. Table 4-1
is a list of the font names that uses the corresponding GFID
number shown as the last four digits.
