Coded font (CDEFNT) parameter

This parameter is specified only for printer files with DEVTYPE (*AFPDS) when printing on IPDS-capable printers configured with AFP(*YES).

A coded font is the combination of a font character set and a code page. This combination is assigned a name and called a coded font.

Note:

The coded font contains only the names of the font character set and code page. It does not contain the font and code page data.

A point size can be specified for outline fonts. It will be ignored for raster fonts.

You can find out which coded fonts come with the iSeries™ server by using the Work with Font Resources (WRKFNTRSC) command and specifying QFNTCPL for the library and *CDEFNT as the object attribute.

Note:

If you have obtained coded fonts from other sources but have them in a different library, the WRKFNTRSC command can display the coded fonts located in that library.

You can specify a library for the coded font specified on the printer file. However, if the font character set and code page that make up the coded font are not in a library that is defined to your library list, the coded font is not found.
