How can I know a downloaded font type face ?

[yp56]

hello,
I upload a font into the printer but I don't know it type face ? How can I know it ?

first I init the printer and the upload :
<esc>E<esc>*c14D<esc>*c5F

then I upload the font :
copy /b myfont.bin PRN

then I test dierent way to test the font :
begin
<esc>(14X 9876543210!:;,
<esc>(9U<esc>(s1p12v0s0b12000T 9876543210!:;,
<esc>(9U<esc>(s1p11v0s0b12000T 9876543210!:;,
<esc>(9U<esc>(s1p10v0s0b12000T 9876543210!:;,
end

The first test with <esc>(14X works good but I cant choose the size font. The three other way don't work. I choose the type face 12000 since the font I want to use replace another font which would have the same type face (they are both cmc7 font)
Why those three last way to call my font don't work ?
How can I know the type face of the new font ?

thanks a lot

<esc>14X
<esc>(s12V 9876543210:;,
<esc>(s11V 9876543210:;,
<esc>(s10V 9876543210:;,

etc.

Assuming that the soft font IS scalable, only specify the point size in a subsequent command. The above should work.

OOPS!

That should be <esc>(14X

I love you :c)
Harry you are the best !!!
I was trying since this morning, I re-re-read the doc. I analyse the header font and I was searching type face family(which is the 28th byte of the header) etc..etc ...etc...
thanks a lot !! :c)

Ho It doesn't work when I try to use the font in a real print job.
It seems that the font doesn't change when I send <esc>(14X<esc>(s10V

First i supposed that there were something within the font and the header of my job (page defintion, HMI, VMI), but I try sending this header like before and it's good.
I don't understand why the font doesn't change when I print before. I change the other font like this :
<esc>(<esc>(s0p12h0s0b4099T for example

The download...

<esc>E<esc>*c14D-->fontfile<--<esc>*c5F

<esc>E<esc>(14X<esc>(s10V The rest of the print job...
