Error messages

The Start Font Downloader (STRFNTDWN) command starts the Infoprint Server font downloader server job in the QUSRWRK subsystem. This server job listens on a TCP/IP port for Infoprint Manager DBCS Font Downloader connections.After connecting, new or refreshed PostScript fonts can be sent to the iSeries server for use with Infoprint Server. The font downloader server job will receive and install these fonts. These fonts will be installed into the /QOpenSts/QIBM/UserData/InfoprintServer/Transforms/ps2afp/fonts directory. Any existing files by the same name in this directory will be overwritten. The files will be owned by user profile QIPSJOB. Once installed, the new PostScript fonts can be used by Infoprint Server for iSeries.

Only one font downloader server job can be active. An error message will be sent if STRFNTDWN is run and a font downloader server job is active. You can run the End Font Downloader (ENDFNTDWN) command to end the active font downloader server job.

Restriction: Only one Font Downloader daemon may be running at a time.
