<h3 id="rzau6tt52">TrueType fonts on OS/400&reg; V5R2</h3>
<p>You can use TrueType fonts on V5R2 operating systems. However, there are
some differences between using these fonts on a V5R2 operating system as compared
to using the fonts on a later-level system.</p>
<p>One difference is that Print Services Facility&trade; (PSF) does not support
TrueType fonts on V5R2 operating systems, only Host Print Transform does.
Also, there is no resource access table available on V5R2 operating systems.
Instead, the operating system maintains index tables that map the full font
names to the actual font files stored in the integrated file system. The index
table is built for all TrueType fonts contained in these directories:</p>
<ul>
<li>QIBM/ProdData/OS400/Fonts/TTFonts</li>
<li>QIBM/UserData/OS400/Fonts/TTFonts</li></ul><p class="indatacontent">Because there is no resource access table on V5R2 operating systems,
linked fonts and font capturing are not supported on V5R2.</p>
<p><span class="bold">Migration notes</span></p>
<p>For fonts in the /QIBM/UserData/OS400/Fonts/TTFonts directory, the base
implementation on V5R3 and later-level systems functions exactly the same
as V5R2. Customers who use TrueType fonts on V5R2 and do not want to use resource
access tables do not need to change anything when they migrate to a later-level
system. However, customers can access all of the TrueType functions by using
the Font Installer for AFP&trade; Systems to install the fonts. Font Installer for AFP Systems
is a feature of the IBM&reg; Infoprint&reg; Fonts for Multiplatforms licensed
program. This program generates a resource access table when TrueType fonts
are installed, and this enables the extended functions.</p>
<p>On V5R3 and later-level operating systems, the search order for full font
names follows:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Search the resource access table (if it exists) in /QIBM/UserData/OS400/Fonts/TTFonts.</li>
<li>Search the resource access table (if it exists) in /QIBM/ProdData/OS400/Fonts/TTFonts.</li>
<li>Search all the TrueType font files in /QIBM/UserData/OS400/Fonts/TTFonts.</li>
<li>Search all the TrueType font files in /QIBM/ProdData/OS400/Fonts/TTFonts.</li></ol><p class="indatacontent">This lets the resource access table take precedence over the V5R2 search
method. If there is no resource access table, the old method still works.</p>
