The routine gSetSoftChars() sets the current character mode to software character mode. This mode takes effect when characters are subsequently output provided there has been no intervening call to gSetHardChars(), gSetMixedChars or gSetCharTransformMode(GON).
When software character mode is active, all characters are generated by GINO to exactly the size, orientation and italic angle requested. Characters are drawn using vectors of solid lines in the current colour. The thickness of each vector is determined by the current setting of font weight (gSetFontWeight()).
