Epson FX dot matrix printer fonts
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
This directory contains fonts for the Epson FX printers. While these
|
|
were not extracted from original hardware or firmware, the have been
|
|
checked carefully against matrices given in original documentation.
|
|
The variants here correspond to different editions of the manual, as
|
|
referenced in the files.
|
|
|
|
Should you however find any discrepancies with the sources references,
|
|
or have access to other versions or sources of these fonts, please do get in
|
|

|
Character sets
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The characters are stored in ROM in an ASCII-based order, with non-ASCII
|
|
characters filling the positions of control characters. The lower 7-bit
|
|
block contains the roman slant of the font, while the upper block has
|
|
the italic slant.
|
|
|
|
The printer supported different national character sets, which have some
|
|
glyphs reassigned to different code points.
|
|
|
|
The following code points differ:
|
|
|
|
| |`23`|`24`|`40`|`5b`|`5c`|`5d`|`5e`|`60`|`7b`|`7c`|`7d`|`7e`|
|
|
| |`a3`|`a4`|`c0`|`db`|`dc`|`dd`|`de`|`e0`|`fb`|`fc`|`fd`|`fe`|
