An alternate font set can be created by using the IHSFONT character editor. During the printing of a document, two alternate font sets can be loaded and available at any one time. Thus it is very easy to switch between these font sets at any time. The single numeric parameter to :FONT is either 0,1 or 2. A 0 activates the default font set which is supported by your printer. 1 or 2 activates alternate font set 1 or 2 respectively. _WARNING...

This means that the width of each character in the font may vary according to the actual width of the letter or symbol. =:JOFF = turns OFF justification spacing. The primary affect of these two control words is best seen when trying to print text which is right margin justified. If the alternate font used to print the text is proportional AND the :JOFF control word has been used, the printed text will lose it's right margin justification. However, if the :JON control word has just been used, the words are proportionalized but space between the words is padded so that the right margin justification is not destroyed. :space 1 !=FOR EXAMPLE ...=! :ccoff :space 1 :font 2 :lpi 9 :dson ╔═════════════════╣ SAMPLE TEXT ╠════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ :font 0 {First print normally ║ ║ ║ ║ Perseverance is failing nineteen ║ ║ ║ ║ times and succeeding the twentieth. ║ ║ ║ ║ :load1 normal.p08 {Load proportional font ║ ║ ║ ║ :font 1 ║ ║ ║ ║ :joff {Turn off justification spacing ║ ║ ║ ║ Perseverance is failing nineteen ║ ║ ║ ║ times and succeeding the twentieth. ║ ║ ║ ║ :jon {Turn on justification spacing ║ ║ ║ ║ Perseverance is failing nineteen ║ ║ ║ ║ times and succeeding the twentieth. ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ :font 0 :dsoff :lpi 6 :space 1 Perseverance is failing nineteen times and succeeding the twentieth. :load2 normal.p08 :font 2 :dson :joff Perseverance is failing nineteen times and succeeding the twentieth. :jon Perseverance is failing nineteen times and succeeding the twentieth. :joff :load2 normal.f08 :eject :font 1 :lpi 9 ╔══════════════════════════════════╗ ║ IHSPRINT USER GUIDE 2-25 ║ ╚══════════════════════════════════╝ :space 3 ┌──────────────────┐ │:LOAD1 - :LOAD2 │ └──────────────────┘ :font 0 :lpi 6 :scale 1 :ccon :dsoff :space 2 =:LOAD1= loads an alternate font set into the IHSPRINT internal font table number 1.

The single parameter is a number from 1 to 10. Only fonts which are created in scale 1 may be scaled up to 10. Those fonts which are created by IHSFONT in scale 2 may not be changed. Essentially, the SCALE parameter sets the size of the printed character to "n" times the normal size. Thus, :SCALE 5 will print letters 5 times normal size. =Because of this= you must remember that if the characters are twice as big, only 1/2 the normal number of characters will fit on a line. If characters are 4 times as big (:SCALE 4) then only 1/4 the normal number of characters will fit on a line. A simple rule of thumb is to take the normal print width (say, 80 characters) and divide by the scale size. Thus if you set scale to 8, only 10 characters will fit on a printed line (80 divided by 8). :eject :font 1 :lpi 9 :dson ╔══════════════════════════════════╗ ║ IHSPRINT USER GUIDE 2-31 ║ ╚══════════════════════════════════╝ :space 3 ┌──────┐ │:SCALE│ └──────┘ :font 0 :lpi 6 :scale 1 :dsoff :ccon :space 2 =!FOR EXAMPLE ... =! :ccoff :space 1 :font 2 :dson :lpi 9 ╔═════════════════╣ SAMPLE TEXT ╠════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ :load2 normal.f08 ║ ║ ║ ║ :font 2 ║ ║ ║ ║ This is printed in scale 1. ║ ║ ║ ║ :scale 2 ║ ║ ║ ║ This is printed in scale 2. ║ ║ ║ ║ :scale 4 ║ ║ ║ ║ Printed in scale 4. ║ ║ ║ ║ :scale 1 ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ :lpi 6 :dsoff :space 2 :scale 1 This is printed in scale 1. :scale 2 This is printed in scale 2. :scale 4 Printed in scale 4. :scale 1 :eject :font 1 :lpi 9 :dson ╔══════════════════════════════════╗ ║ 2-32 IHSPRINT USER GUIDE ║ ╚══════════════════════════════════╝ :space 3 ┌─────────────────┐ │:SPON or :SPOFF│ └─────────────────┘ :font 0 :lpi 6 :scale 1 :ccon :dsoff :eon :space 2 =:SPON= turns on the SUPERSCRIPT mode of printing.
