Syntax

 

symset "symbolset"

 

Description

 

The symset keyword overrides the default symbol set setting found in the [defaults] section of the ufparam.txt file.  If there is no [defaults] section, then the symbol set 10U is used.  Symbol set values for the LaserJet are always integers followed by an uppercase letter.  Be sure to quote the symbolset value to maintain the uppercase letter (unquoted values in rule sets get converted to lowercase by UnForm's rule file parser).

 

Symbol sets are used to display specific international character sets or symbols.  See your LaserJet documentation for symbol set codes supported by your printer.

 

If you plan to use the pdf driver in addition to the laser driver, you should specify your symbol sets as 9J if you intend to use special characters in the ASCII 128 to 255 ranges.
