Intermec Fingerprint v8.70.0/v10.0.0 Programmer´s Reference Manual
Chapter —Character Sets and Fonts
It is possible to use fonts in the “old” Intermec .ATF bitmap font format.
This feature improves compatibility with custom-made programs originally
created in Fingerprint v6.xx or earlier versions.
Downloading an .ATF font (for example XX030RSN.ATF) to the
printer produces three fonts in the memory; one without any extension
(for example XX030RSN), one with the extension .1 (for
example XX030RSN.1), and one with the extension .2 (for example
XX030RSN.2). When using bitmap fonts in Fingerprint v8.xx, the relation
between print direction and extension is of no consequence.
It is recommended to exclude the font height parameter in the FONT and
BARFONT statements and use MAG to enlarge the font. Slant does not
work at all with bitmap fonts.
The standard font names in Intermec Fingerprint are much longer than in
earlier versions of Fingerprint and may be cumbersome to use. They are
also incompatible with the LAYOUT statement, which restricts the font
name to 10 characters.
However, it is possible to create a file containing a list of font aliases. The
file should be named exactly as shown here (note the leading period character
that specifies it as a system file):
"c:.FONTALIAS"
The format of the file should be:
"",""[,size[,[,]]]
"",""[,size[,[,]]]
"",""[,size[,[,]]]
etc., etc.
The file can contain as many fontname aliases as required. The default size
is 12 points, the default slant is 0°, and the default width is 100 (%).
A font alias can be used as any other font, but its size, slant, and width
cannot be changed.
Note: The printer must be rebooted before the font alias can be used.
Examples:
"BODYTEXT","Century Schoolbook BT",10,0,80
"HEADLINE","Swiss 721 Bold BT",18,0,110
"WARNING","Swiss 721 BT",12
