Spacing:
Indicates whether the font is mono spaced (fixed pitch) or proportional
spaced.
spaced.
0=monospaced
1=Propotional spaced
Pitch:
This field is only of importance if you have chosen fixed spacing. Then
enter e.g. 10,00 for 10 CPI. If you have chosen proportional spacing, just
enter a value within the valid interval, as the width of the individual letters is
relative to the height of the font.

Height:
The height of a font is expressed in typographical points. A point is 1/72 of
an inch. A font height of 1/3 of an inch therefore has to be specified as
24,00. The height of a font is slightly greater than the distance from the top
of a capital letter to the bottom of e.g. the letter "g".

Stroke weight: This describes the thickness of the characters:
0=Medium
3=Bold
Typeface:
This field has to be filled in with an ID-number of the typeface to be used.
There is a lot of possible typefaces (refer to the font list or the technical
reference of the printer). Here the scalable typefaces of the HPIII (PCL5)
are shown:

Symbol Set: The symbolset of the font. Leaving it blank will use the symbolset selected
for the interface type (e.g. ASCII850 or ASCIIR8). Entering a symbolset
here is normally for selecting special symbol character sets.

Override spacing:
Here you can override the spacing for fixed width fonts. If you e.g. use a 10
CPI courier font and override to 5 then the 10 CPI font is written with a
spacing of 5 CPI.
CPI courier font and override to 5 then the 10 CPI font is written with a
spacing of 5 CPI.
Note that changing the above parameters does not change the appearance of the font
unless a font matching the changes can be found in the printer. Print out a font list from
the printers front panel to get an overview of available resident PCL fonts.

Example of Defining a Resident Printer font
We want to define a 70 point Univers Bold Italic for use in our overlay definitions. We
know this font is available as a resident scalable font in HPIII compatible printers.
