Stroke Font and Standard Font
Standard Font
You can specify the vertical and horizontal dimensions of a character in bitmap fonts. When you magnify/shrink characters, the outline may become rough or the letter may appear compressed.
Stroke Font
This is an outline font where the ratio of the character height and width is fixed. The letters will have a smooth outline even if you magnify/shrink them. However, this font uses more disk space on the display unit.
If entered text code and the text code set at Input Display do not match, text may not be displayed properly.
