The System Fonts
When the system is started up, a number of font files are loaded into memory. However, only one of them is the current font and available for immediate use.
Creo Elements/Direct Drafting’s different internal and external encoding schemes were Unicode incorporated for version 2007.
You can find out which fonts are in memory by entering LIST_FONTS. If no new fonts have been defined since system startup, the display will become as follows, and then you can return to the menu using ESC.
Fonts loaded:
osd_default2
osd_default3
osd_default
hp_def_font
Font used:
osd_default
Current font:
osd_default
This table gives the names of fonts that are in memory and has nothing to do with the files from which they are created. The fonts hp_Y14.5 and hp_i3098_v are loaded from files with the same names, but hp_def_font is created within the system and displays a box on the screen to represent the space that will be occupied by characters before they are drawn.
There are files available on the disk that create fonts when they are loaded. The complete list is:
osd_default
Default Creo Elements/Direct Drafting font containing hp_i3098_v and hp_kanji2_c characters with variable character spacing
osd_default2

To increase the speed of access, all the files listed above are stored as binary files on the disk and cannot be input. They have to be loaded using:
LOAD_FONT 'bin_filename'
bin_filename is the name of the binary file. It is possible for a binary file to contain more than one font, in which case they will all be loaded. Each of the system files contains only one font that has the same name as the filename. The LOAD_FONT command will not change the current font.
