FONT FILE EXAMPLE – VERSION 1.0 MONOSPACE:
Since the file must be in binary, it is often easiest to create using an assembler. The following example shows the header,
and two of the characters in a form ready to assemble. The object code output, then, can be sent to the printer using the
Oneil WINDOWS configuration program, or a special command.
