<h5 id="rzaluconcodedfont">Coded fonts</h5>
|
|
<p>A coded font is the pairing of a font character set and a code page. Coded
|
|
fonts allow users to specify a font character set and a code page with one
|
|
value specified on the printer file.</p>
|
|
<p>Coded fonts available on the iSeries server can be viewed by using the Work
|
|
with Font Resources (WRKFNTRSC) command.</p>
|
|
<p>Coded font names are read by the system and then translated to a font character
|
|
set and a code page. These two elements are then sent to the printer.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Naming convention for coded fonts</span></p>
|
|
<p>Unlike other uniformly spaced and mixed-pitch font components, coded font
|
|
names are generally shortened by excluding the origin and reserved characters
|
|
(the first two characters of their name). This is necessary because some Advanced Function Presentation™ (AFP™) licensed programs accept only 6 characters
|
|
for coded font names. However, some applications can use coded fonts named
|
|
with 6 or 8 characters.</p>
|
|
<p>Coded font names on the iSeries server are 6 or 8 characters long. Each character
|
|
or group of characters tells something about the coded font.</p>
|
|
<p>For example, in the coded font name X0GT10: </p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt class="bold">X0</dt>
|
|
<dd>The X0 means that this object is a coded font.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt class="bold">XZ</dt>
|
|
<dd>The XZ means that this object is an outline coded font.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt class="bold">GT10</dt>
|
|
<dd>The <span class="bold">GT10</span> indicates the type family, typeface,
|
|
and pitch for uniformly spaced and mixed-pitch fonts. In this example the
|
|
GT10 means that this font character set is a Gothic Text style and the characters
|
|
are 10 pitch or 10 characters per inch.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<p>To find out which font character set and code page make up a coded font
|
|
name, use the Work with Font Resources (WRKFNTRSC) command. This command
|
|
allows you to specify the font resource to be worked with, the library it
|
|
is in, and the attribute (coded font).</p>
|
|
<p>Additional naming conventions have been adopted to more explicitly name
|
|
the code page used with a character set.</p>
|
|
<p>For more information about coded fonts, see the manual <cite>About Type: IBM's Technical Reference for 240-Pel
|
|
Digitized Type</cite><span class="italic">,</span> GS544-3516.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Selecting coded fonts</span></p>
|
|
<p>A coded font is selected by specifying the coded font name as the value
|
|
on the coded font (CDEFNT) parameter of the printer file.</p>
|
|
<p>You can use the Work with Font Resources (WRKFNTRSC) command to view the
|
|
coded fonts that are available on the system.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Substituting coded fonts</span></p>
|
|
<p>No substitution of coded fonts takes place on the iSeries server. If the
|
|
coded font is not available, the document will not print.</p>
|
|
<p>You can use the MAPIGCFNT parameter on the CRTPSFCFG and CHGPSFCFG commands
|
|
to specify that coded font names of the form X0nnnnnn should be mapped to
|
|
XZnnnnnn. If the XZnnnnnn coded font is found it is used; if it is not found,
|
|
the X0nnnnnn coded font will be used.</p>
