[comp.fonts] HP Softfont Typeface Number

martin@cat.de (Thomas Martin) (04/15/91)

Hi everybody!

I am looking for a list of HP Softfont Typeface Numbers. The header of each
Font contains a number which stands for its Typeface (e.g. 2=Lineprinter,
3=Courier as I found out). Im looking for a list for all 256 possible numbers.
Any ideas where I could get it?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you very much!

Thomas Martin

HP Softfont Typeface Numbers
============================

The most complete listing of 1-byte Typeface codes that I have ever seen 
published is found in 

	LaserJet III Technical Reference Manual
	HP p/n 33449-90903

It lists over 150 assignments, including several non-Latin linguistic
groups (e.g. Arabic, Tamil, Hindi), with the promise that more are coming.
Additionally, the manual describes the initial set of 2-byte Typeface values.

BTW, one of your examples is in error:  0=Line Printer
                                        2=Elite
