Table 4-30. LINE FONTINDEX parameter options and definitions

Option

Definition

offset

Specifies the byte offset in the data record where the character that is to be
used as a font index number is located.
Refer to “LINE OVERPRINT” later in this chapter for a discussion of
FONTINDEX usage with overprint lines and maximum number of fonts.

initval

initial value.
Index number associated with the first font in the font list (i.e., the number the
font list starts with). This value can be one of the following:

ONE specifies that an index value of 1 is associated with the first font in the
font list.

ZERO specifies that an index value of 0 is associated with the first font in
the font list, an index value of 1 is associated with the second font in the
font list, and so forth.

The default for the initial font index value is ONE.

bitopt

bit option
A number specifying the number of low order bits within the font index byte,
which, in turn, specifies an index value into the font list of the current PDE. The
bitopt value may be 1 through 7.
The default bitopt value is 4.

NONE

Specifies that there is no font index.
