PCL Symbol Sets
PCL Symbol Sets – The symbol set of a font describes the relative positions of individual characters within the font. Since there can only be 256 characters in most fonts, and there are well over 256 different characters used in professional document preparation, there needs to be some way to map characters into positions within the font.
The symbol set serves this purpose. It identifies the “map” used to position characters within the font.
Use Table below to find addition information on each of the different PCL Symbol Sets.
