t = TTF type Accepted values: A through Z

w = width (in dots) Accepted values: 8 to 2000h = height (in dots)

g = space of character (in dots)

R = field orientation 0 = normal1 = rotated 90 degrees2 = rotated 180 degrees3 = rotated 270 degrees

r1 = font table Default value: 0Unicode ID :’A’~’Z’

m: m = 0 width/height AspectRatio mode

m = 1 Average width mode

Default value: 0 In width/height AspectRatio mode (m = 0):When the width (w) and the height (h) of TTF are equal, the printing result of TTF will be exactly the same with Windows font. There is a formula to calculate the Windows font size from TTF size: TTFheightsize = WindowsFontsize*dpi/72For example, if user want to print Windows font 72pt on 203dpi printer, then the TTFheightsize = 72*203/72 = 203. And the TTFwidthsize should be equal to TTFheightsize, which is 203. As a result, when the width and height of TTF both are 203, the printout will be the same with Windows font 72pt. In Average width mode (m = 1): The height in dot is calculated the same as width/height AspectRatio mode, but the width is the average width in dots. If width=0, a 1:1 aspect ratio font is rendered.

data = data to be printed
