Font and Spacing Notes: |
If you select Host for both Font and Spacing options, Extra! uses host values for CPI, LPI, and font characteristics to determine a best fit font to print. If you select PC (numeric) values for either CPI or LPI or both, together with the Use host font setting option, Extra! uses host font characteristics and user desired CPI and/or LPI to determine a best fit font to print. You can select Use PC font setting to specify a desired font and size (which gives CPI and LPI values) for Extra! to use. |
