Chapter 1. Overview
Fonts
This process of building a line continues until the end of the line is
reached. The cursor position for the first character in the second line is
determined by adding the X and Y escapement values in the font
definition record (SFM or FDM) to the cursor position for the first
character in the first line. See Figure 1.11.
Figure 1.11 Line escapements
The X and Y line spacing values are added to the X and Y line
escapement values in the SFM or FDM. Interline spacing can therefore be
controlled by line spacing values in the SFS record or the ILS value in an
SOD, SDC, SFT, or SFI record.
Figure 1.12 shows that by setting the X escapement value to 0 and the Y
escapement to a positive value, vertical printing of upright fonts is
achieved. Right-to-left printing is achieved by setting the Y escapement
value to zero and setting negative values for the X escapement.
