Unless you have a PCL6 printer with resident fonts that include the
characters for the languages (usually sold in specific countries), you
will need to download the necessary font characters with your text in the
PCL6 print stream.
The easiest way to have full language capability is to print through
Windows with support for the specific language.
We have a .dll that we license to OEM's where you can provide the
text in UTF-8 character set and indicate the language. And, then it
extracts the appropriate characters from a 45,000 character Unicode
typeface, converts them into a temporary download HP PCLETTO scalable
typeface and provides you with the properly formatted text for a PCL5e or
PCL6 printer. You need to make sure that the PCL6 printer fully
supports the PCL XL or PCL6 specification. HP makes PCL6 with
JetReady, which is a stripped-down implementation of PCL6 with support
for only JetReady compressed graphics. So, just like PCL3-5, PCL 6
has it's variations.
