What are PMF fonts (e.g. the *.pmf fonts in ${XPCONFIGDIR}/C/print/models/%model_name%/fonts/ (or ${XPCONFIGDIR}/${LANG}/print/models/%model_name%/fonts/)) ?
PMF “fonts” are “printer metric files” (.pmf) that describe the metrics of the fonts (which means they do not contain any data to render the fonts – they contain only the plain metrics of a font) which are built into the printer (ROM or via font catridge etc.). The file format is identical to the PCF (“Portable Compiled Format”) font format except that the bitmap data is not provided.
