The graPHIGS API provides several character sets in various fonts. In addition, you can create your own character sets and fonts for use with geometric text. (See Chapter 10. "User-Definable Fonts" for further information.)
This section contains charts of fonts (excluding Hangul, Kanji, Traditional Chinese, and Unicode) supported by the graPHIGS API for the S/390 and AIX environments. Each chart presents the actual characters that correspond to each character code in the supported fonts. When using annotation text, the appearance and, in some cases, the availability of particular characters may vary. Also, only a subset of the characters can generally be generated by the keyboard or input device for input characters.
Note:
For ease of use, nondisplayable characters are represented by a blank ( ). The space or blank character is represented by the symbol SP.
The Unicode standard, modeled on the ASCII character set, is a universal set of characters. It includes characters and common technical symbols from the world's scripts. The graPHIGS API provides a Unicode character set (CSID 131), which is a subset of the characters included in the Unicode standard. The subset includes all characters and symbols supported in other graPHIGS API character sets, with the exception of a few technical drawing, or engineering, symbols.
The graPHIGS API does not support bidirectional text rendering of Unicode text elements.
The graPHIGS API Unicode text processing does not support non-spacing mark, or "dead-key" processing. That is, all elements described in the Unicode standard as non-spacing marks will be treated as spacing marks and occupy a spacing position by themselves. The graPHIGS application should use pre-combined character elements, when possible.
Proportional character symbol positioning is not supported for Unicode character sets.
The graPHIGS API provides these fonts with characters mapped
to the EBCDIC or ASCII standard:
