^A@ — Use Font Name to Call Font
Calls a font by its full file name on the printer instead of the one-character name used by ^A.
Syntax^A@o,h,w,d:f.x

What it does
^A selects a font by a single letter or digit; ^A@ names the font file itself (drive, name, extension), so fonts you downloaded and TrueType fonts can be used in a field.
Once a name is given it stays in effect: a later ^A@ without a name keeps using the same font until a new name is sent.
In the preview
Labelixa's preview draws this command.
Example
^XA
^FO100,100^A@N,50,50,B:CYRI_UB.FNT^FDZebra Printer Fonts^FS
^FO100,150^A@N,40,40^FDSame font, smaller^FS
^XZ
Looks for CYRI_UB.FNT in non-volatile memory (B:) and prints at 50×50 dots; the second field reuses the font at 40×40 without naming it again.
