LINE FONTINDEX

parameter: points

to note

When the bitopt option is specified, the initval must also be
specified.

If the initval is ONE or is not specified, the value of the font
index byte in the data record is a number in the range 1 to n,
where n is the number of fonts specified in the PDE
parameter (1 to 128). If ZERO is specified, the font index is a
number in the range 0 to n, where n is the number of fonts
specified in the PDE parameter minus one (0 to 127). The
font index value must be present in every record. If the
FONTINDEX in the data record is greater than the number of
fonts specified, the first font in the list is used.

If the FONTINDEX feature is specified, the font index byte is
processed for every printed record, and for DJDEs where the
IDEN DJPCC parameter causes such processing. A valid
FONTINDEX byte should be present in all such records,
because it controls line spacing at page transitions.
If the offset to the font index value exceeds the logical record
size, the first font in the font list is used.

If there is a change from a small font to a large font when
LINE OVERPRINT=MERGE has been specified, the line is
adjusted downward by the difference in height between the
first and the largest fonts in the line. (This applies to FreeFlow
Print Server LCDS systems, 4850/4890 LPS, and DP92C
LPS only.)

FreeFlow Print Server only: When a new FONTINDEX is
specified for a print record, the new line spacing value is
always used, regardless of whether the record actually
contains printable data.

LINE GDATA

Specifies the starting point of the graphic data from the
beginning of the user portion of a data record. This command
can be used to skip past information, such as a PCC byte that is
not actually part of the image.

LINE GDATA = (offset, termination)
