Examples

Shows how to declare a font that a printer will apply to printed text as a substitute should its original font be unavailable.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
builder.font.name = 'Non-existent font'
builder.write('Hello world!')
save_options = aw.saving.PclSaveOptions()
save_options.fallback_font_name = 'Times New Roman'
# This document will instruct the printer to apply "Times New Roman" to the text with the missing font.
# Should "Times New Roman" also be unavailable, the printer will default to the "Arial" font.
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'PclSaveOptions.SetPrinterFont.pcl', save_options=save_options)
