Generally, all one has to do to change the character set is send the escape
sequence:

ESC(<id>X

where <id> is the character set ID
(http://support.sas.com/rnd/base/topics/printerfonts/PCLfont.sas shows some
of the ids).  There are other sequences for characteristics like weight,
stroke, size, etc.

If you really need to control the download of soft fonts, you can check
here:
www.intellitech-intl.com/techsupp/techdocs/programmersrefman/section7.pdf
for more information.

I am assuming that your software is controlling the direction of the print
(right-to-left).
