ESL Documentation

"FONT fontname"

Sets the font to be used. There are 2 ANSI standard fonts included:

"VARIFONT" for variable pitched (proportional) and

"FIXEDFONT" for fixed pitched (mono spaced) font.

In addition, any available font may be used by using the ESLPR.INI file to specify the key attributes for the font.

If the keyword "FONT" is not used, then the default font for the printer is used. If the specified font name does not exist, or the ESLPR.INI is not found in the "Windows" directory, then the default font will be used.

In the supplied ESLPR Test Harness program, the ESLPR.INI file is accessed to created a list of available custom fonts, which have been defined in the initialization file.

Note. The maximum length of a fontname is 32 characters.

Example

send "FILE C:\\Program Files\\EslSyndetic\\samples\\eslpr\\ReadMe.txt FONT varifont\n" to PRINTER_LA
