= SUMMARY =

The Hewlett-Packard LaserJet III printer supports four internal fonts: two bitmapped; Courier and Lineprinter, and two scalable; Univers and CGTimes. The LaserJet III also supports 25 symbol sets, which can be used with the bitmapped or scalable fonts, and an additional 10 symbol sets exclusively for the scalable fonts. A symbol set refers to the specific alphabetic, numeric, punctuation, and special symbols in a font.

The Works printer driver file for the LaserJet III (HP3.PRD) supports only two symbol sets, PC-8 and Roman 8. The default symbol set, Roman 8, includes foreign characters. Font names that end with “PC” include the line draw characters from the PC-8 symbol set.

Microsoft Works version 2.00 does not support special characters found in other symbol sets, such as the copyright or registered trademark symbol from the Legal symbol set, or the math characters from the Math-8 symbol set.
