Problem

Solutions: Monospaced fonts cannot be switched into proportionally spaced fonts and vice versa. The HP codes used to access HP fonts tell the printer about the font you are wanting to use. It tells what the symbol set is, whether it is fixed pitch or proportional, the point size, the width, whether it is a slanted font (italic), the weight (i.e., normal, bold, etc.), and/or the typeface. If you have ever done a printer test on an HP LaserJet IID, IIP, or III printer, you will notice that each font listed comes with a specific Escape code. This Escape code lists the exact values needed to access the attributes listed above. So, if the only font you have is a Courier font in a printer, sending an HP code for a Park Avenue typeface will only result in the printer not finding the font and printing in the closest font it has, Courier. The same thing applies to changing the code to make a font bolder, proportional or fixed pitch, wider or taller, or even making the font italic.
