FONTD<br />
Chapter 2 Program Instructions<br />
Field of Application Statement for selecting a scalable TrueType or TrueDoc double-byte<br />
font for the printing of the subsequent PRTXT statements.<br />
Syntax FONTD[,[,[,]]]<br />
1 1 2 3<br />
1 is the name of the font.<br />
Default: none<br />
1 is optionally the height in points of the font.<br />
Default: 12 points.<br />
2 is the clockwise slant in degrees (0–90°).<br />
Default: 0.<br />
3 is the width enlargement in percent relative the height (1–<br />
1000). Default: 100.<br />
Reset to default by: PRINTFEED execution or CLL<br />
Remarks This statement is identical to the FONT statement, but is used for fonts<br />
specified by a double byte (16 bits) instead of a single byte (7 or 8 bits). To<br />
use a double-byte font, a double-byte character set must be selected using a<br />
NASCD statement. Usually, if the first byte has an ASCII value between 161<br />
dec. (A1 hex.) and 254 dec (FE hex), the character will be treated as a doublebyte<br />
character and the program waits for next byte to make the 16 bit address<br />
complete. The character will be printed using the font specified by FONTD<br />
and according to the character set specified by NASCD and the Unicode<br />
standard.<br />
On the other hand, if the first byte has an ASCII value below 161 dec. (A1<br />
hex), the character is treated as a single byte character (i.e. next byte received<br />
will be regarded as the start of a new character). This implies that the character<br />
set specified by NASC and the font specified by FONT will be used.<br />
However, the selected Unicode double-byte character set may specify some<br />
other ASCII value as the breaking point between single anddouble bytew<br />
character sets.<br />
Note that 8 bit communication must be selected.<br />
Only writing from left to right in the selected print direction is supported.<br />
Example The following text contains both single- and double-byte fonts. The doublebyte<br />
font and its character set are stored in a Font Install Card:<br />
10 NASC 46<br />
20 FONT "Swiss 721 BT", 24, 10<br />
30 NASCD "rom:BIG5.NCD"<br />
40 FONTD "Chinese"<br />
50 PRTXT CHR$(65);CHR$(161);CHR$(162)<br />
60<br />
RUN<br />
PRINTFEED<br />
This program yields a printed text line that starts with the Latin character A<br />
(ASCII 65 dec.) followed by the Chinese font that corresponds to the address<br />
161+162 dec. in the character set “BIG5.NCD”.<br />
