10.11.8 Font Selection by ID
Designates a font by ID as primary or secondary. The designated font, if present, is selected
as the primary/secondary font, and all the attributes in the primary/ secondary font select table
are changed to match those of the designated font. Pitch, however, is not changed if the des-
ignated font is proportional. No action occurs if the designated font is unavailable. See the
Font Symbol Set Command for Symbol Set ID Numbers.
Pitch and height are unchanged if the designated font is scalable.
If a proportional-space scalable font is selected by ID, the Height command should be
sent prior to the Font Selection ID command to specify point size. Otherwise, the size will
be determined by the height of the former font (as listed in the font select table).
For shared or multi-user environments, HP recommends that soft fonts be selected by
attribute rather than ID.
