You can select the fonts by either:
	1. Font number (eg. font number 27):
		<ESC>(27X
	2. Font description (portrait, PC-8, proportional, 10 point,
	   italic, medium weight, Helv)
		<ESC>&l0O<ESC>(10U<ESC>(s1p10v1s3b4T
Both code sequences need naturally be sent to the printer.  Substitute 
the escape character for <ESC>.

A full description of the codes can be found in the LaserJet II Technical
Reference Manual (available from HP), and a shorter one in the User's Manual
(included with the printer).
