More Information

• Beginning with PASSPORT PC to Host version 2011-506 and later, fully APL support is available with any font, including a general Windows True Type and Raster Font.

• If you're using a version older than 2011-506, only the PASSPORT True Type font may be used to display the full APL character set. Using another font will only display a subset of the APL character set. Use the View®Keyboard Layout menu command to view a list of the APL character mappings.
