Subparameter k
By specifying this subparameter, you can download Japanese fonts (besides printer's Japanese fonts) mixing with single-byte European fonts. (cf. Subparameter v, Subparameter f)
For example, this would be useful when you want to use a Windows TrueType Japanese Gothic font.
When you are using only the printer's Japanese fonts, this subparameter is ignored.
You can control the downloading of the Japanese font by giving the two numbers after k.
k[=max_char[;skip]]
This specification prohibits the mixing the Japanese font with a European font which has already downloaded more characters than max_char (default, 63) and its appearance is less than skip(default, 4)th most frequent.
If the numbers for the latter, or the former and the latter are omitted, these default values are used.
For example, if zero is specified for max_char and a fairly large number is specified for skip, after the European font is downloaded, only the Japanese font is downloaded without accompanying any of the European font.
