<h5 id="rzaluconfgids">Font global identifiers (FGIDs)</h5>
|
||
|
|
<p>Another method of naming a font is by a font global identifier (FGID).
|
||
|
|
An FGID names a type family and a typeface.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>FGIDs are identified by a number such as 3, 8, or 11.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>There is a different FGID assigned for the same type family but different
|
||
|
|
typeface. For example, a Courier Roman Medium 10 pitch (characters-per-inch)
|
||
|
|
is FGID 11 and Courier Roman Bold 10 pitch (characters per inch) is FGID 46.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Below is an example of FGID 11. The text in the box represents how data
|
||
|
|
would print if your application uses FGID 11.</p>
|
||
|
|
<a name="wq48"></a>
|
||
|
|
<div class="fignone" id="wq48">
|
||
|
|
<div class="mmobj">
|
||
|
|
<img src="rv2h331.gif" alt="How data would print if your application uses FGID 11." /></div></div>
|
||
|
|
<p>Printers with resident fonts use FGIDs to name the resident fonts. Depending
|
||
|
|
on the technology used with the printer, resident fonts can be stored on font
|
||
|
|
cards, diskettes, in the memory of the printer, or mechanically on a font
|
||
|
|
element or daisy wheel.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following printers have resident fonts: </p>

<p>To find out which fonts are supported by a printer, check the reference

|
|
manual for that printer.</p>

<p><span class="bold">Selecting resident fonts</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Select a resident font to use with an application program by specifying
|
||
|
|
an FGID value on the FONT parameter of the printer file.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Font substitution</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Substitution can be one FGID for another, an FGID for a font character
|
||
|
|
set, or a font character set for an FGID.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Example 1</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Assume: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Your application calls for a font character set (FNTCHRSET specified on
|
||
|
|
the printer file), for example, C0S0CR10 for Courier Roman medium 10 pitch.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The printer is a 4224 and has resident fonts identified by FGIDs.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>FGID 11 will be substituted for C0S0CR10 and sent to the printer.</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>In this example, the system substitutes a font that is resident on that
|
||
|
|
printer.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Example 2</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Assume: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Your application calls for a font (specified on the FONT parameter of
|
||
|
|
the printer file). The font specified is font 26 (Gothic Matrix, Roman medium
|
||
|
|
10 pitch) and the printer is a 3812.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You decide to print the document on a 4019 printer. Font 26 is not supported
|
||
|
|
on the 4019.</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>In this example, the system substitutes font 11 (Courier, Roman medium
|
||
|
|
10 pitch).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For more information about such substitutions, see <a href="rzalufntsub.htm#rzalufntsub">Printer font support</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Example 3</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Assume: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Your application uses a font (specified on the FONT parameter of the printer
|
||
|
|
file). The font specified is font 40 (Gothic, Roman medium 10 pitch).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The printer you are going to print on supports only font character sets
|
||
|
|
(for example, a 3827).</li></ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>In this example, the system substitutes font character set C0D0GT10 (Gothic
|
||
|
|
Text, Roman medium 10 pitch).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For more information about such substitutions, see <a href="rzalurefprtres2host.htm#rzalurefprtres2host">Mapping printer-resident to host-resident code pages</a>.</p>
