Your product can access a variety of symbol sets. Many
of these symbol sets differ only in the international characters
specific to each language.
Note: Since
most software handles fonts and symbols automatically, you may
never need to adjust your product settings. However, if you write
your own product control programs, or if you use older software
that cannot control fonts, refer to these tables for details on the
symbol sets.
When you consider which font to use, also consider
which symbol set to combine with the font. Available symbol sets
vary depending on the mode and font you choose.
