Double-byte font encoding that does not use UTF-16, a Unicode based standard, may not
support the advanced language features of the Global Printing system built into your ZPL
kiosk printer. Your printer has several optional double-byte Asian fonts available for your
ZLP kiosk printer.
Fonts and Font Licensing
Fonts are software and as such are protected from copying and un-licensed use by others
through a variety of local and international legal protections (i.e. Copyrights, patents,
EULA-End User License Agreements, etc.). Each country has its own licensing
protections and legal requirements. Some fonts are free to use as an individual, non-
commercial uses, but have licensing fees if used in a product (kiosk in this case). In some
cases, fonts are completely free to use without restriction. Other free fonts are supplied by
local governments to help them improve communications and resolve standards issues.
Computer operating systems usually have fonts included as part of the operating system
software. The licenses usually cover the right to use the fonts to print but not transferring
the font to another system or device.
