B.1. - About the fonts
This appendix contains samples of the different fonts available for drawing text on the pen plotter and the graphics filter devices. ( Fonts 1 through 8 consist partly of characters from the Hershey Fonts originally created by Dr. A.V. Hershey while working at the U.S. National Bureau of Standards. )
The character sequences used to access the Greek, technical and other special characters are described in the last section of Chapter 6. All fonts contain all 94 printable ASCII characters. As of this writing, only fonts 0 and 2 contain all the special characters.
The samples presented here were drawn using the PostScript graphics filter (psfilter) on an Apple LaserWriter. The character size was set to 4mm using the
cs command (see Chapter 6).
