That is a strange syntax (for me), which I didn't know about: I have always used stuff like:
??? chr(27) + "P"
without changing the printer font.
I think the codes can vary between one printer and another. A generic text printer, pressumably, would not have most options which the Epson dot-matrix printers offer.
I think that if you decide to print in text-mode, you are giving up the flexibility to print on any printers - you need to program codes for specific printers.
Of course, I do the same, if the situation so demands it. In Bata/Bolivia, we needed fast printing on specific printers (Epson), so I programmed codes specifically for these printers.
