When building the page buffer, the upper left corner of the first character
cell in a line is placed at the current cursor position. The cell for the next
character in the line is placed next to the first character. The Y coordinate
of the cursor for the second character is the same as the first character
and the X coordinate is increased by the width of the first character cell.
This process continues until the end of the line is reached. Refer to Figure
1.7.

If the last record executed with spacing values was an SFS, the X and Y
character spacing values in that record can alter the spacing between
characters and the alignment of the characters. The X value is added to
the character width and the Y value moves the cursor for the next
character in the Y dimension.
The X coordinate of the cursor for the first character in the second line is
the same as that for the first character in the first line. The Y coordinate
for the second line is increased by the cell height for the font plus any ILS
specified in the font record (SFD or FDR) or in other IJPDS records, such
as SOD, SDC, SFT, or SFI. The ILS in the last record executed is the one
used. See Figure 1.8.
