54 Emulator Parameters

Table 3-22 lists the emulator parameters specific to the LaserWriter Pro printer.
The parameters apply to the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIP emulator. The emulator
parameters specify the characteristics of fonts used in the LaserJet IIP emulation.
Table 3-22 Emulator parameters
Key Type Semantics
FontFixed boolean If true, this parameter requests a fixed pitch font,
such as Courier. If false, it requests a proportional
spaced font, such as Times
R
.
FontHeight real Specifies the desired font height in points. For
fixed-pitch fonts, the pitch takes precedence over the
height. For instance, if you specify Courier in 10
pitch, with 10-point height, you will get 12-point
height, since that is the height of 10-pitch Courier.
FontItalic boolean If true, requests an italic or oblique font.
FontPitch real This parameter is used only if FontFixed is true. In
this case, it is a real number specifying the number of
characters per inch.
FontSymbolSet integer This parameter is used in mapping from 7-bit or 8-bit
numbers to glyphs that appear on the page. The
value of this parameter is the number associated
with this field in a downloaded font, for example,
Roman8=277.
FontTypeface integer The value of this parameter corresponds to the
number that the LaserJet IIP has assigned to a
particular font. The emulator uses this mapping and
ignores fonts with other names.
