If your application specifies a font ID (FGID) that is not found in Printer font support or is not resident in the printer (font card), the system makes a substitution based on the font ID ranges in the following table. For example, if font ID 4 is specified in your application, i5/OS substitutes font ID 11 as shown in the table below.
The following table divides font IDs into ranges. The ranges represent fonts of the same weight and size. A default font is selected in each range for substitution when a font is not found.
