TrueDoc fonts come as PFR (Portable Font Resources) files and are
organized according to the UNICODE standard. A PFR consists of one or
several fonts in a single file and can only be obtained from Intermec.
Intermec Fingerprint can also use TrueType fonts, provided they comply
with the Unicode standard (this is usually the case with TrueType fonts for
Windows 95 and Windows NT). The benefits of using TrueDoc fonts are that
they work faster in Intermec Fingerprint and require less memory space.
To improve compatibility with Intermec Fingerprint 6.xx, bitmap fonts in
.ATF format are also supported, see below.
Some of the character sets listed in chapter 4 require special fonts that are not
included as standard, e.g. Greek and Cyrillic.
When using IMAGELOAD or TRANSFER KERMIT to download a PFR
or a TrueType font file, it will be installed automatically. Any other method
requires the printer to be restarted before the font can be used, either by turning
off and on the power to the printer, or by executing a REBOOT statement.
Single- and double-byte fonts can be obtained from Intermec together with
a suitable mapping tables in the form of Font Cards or Font Install Cards.
Important Information!
When selecting certain fonts, the printer will automatically switch from the
presently selected character set to a special one for the font in question (see
later in this chapter). As soon as any other font is selected again, the printer
will automatically return to the previously selected character set.
This applies to:
• OCR-A BT
• OCR-B 10 Pitch BT
• Zapf Dingbats BT
