6.8 Administering fonts
This section describes how to administer fonts in the Xprint V7.0 system. The

printer. The supported attributes can be displayed with the command
xpshow -pcl pcl_name -di LONG (see section “Displaying information on
Xprint V7.0 objects” on page 82).

you can either define a new font from scratch or you can copy an existing font
and modify the relevant attributes in this copy.

the new font supports the desired attributes:
xpshow -pcl pcl_name -di LONG

xpadd -fnt font_name attributes
