From the File menu select Page Setup, then select the Language tab and select the default font.

Default Font

You may change the font by clicking on the Browse button and selecting from the list of available fonts. The default selection is to “Use Printer Resident Font information” where the fonts are stored in your printer. If this is not checked then the IBM i downloadable fonts will be used.

Note: Faxed output requires you to use IBM i downloadable fonts and therefore you must untick the box to “Use Printer Resident Font information”.

Document Language Defaults

If you wish to change the Document Language Defaults for this document then this is where you would change them. Here you may change the Codepage to match the codepage of the data in the Spooled File if this is different.

For a definition of each of the language entries please refer to the previous topic on Setting your Language Options Language tab.

There is only one scenario when you might want to enable Translate Variable Names (from Cobwebb Designer V8 build 13 onwards)

•Your Codepage is not 1146 - United Kingdom

•AND you are using Variable names with odd characters (e.g. @G_ Global Variables)

•AND you are using Variable replacement to output the values of these Variables (see Multiple Variable & Parameter substitution) OR you are comparing Variables to Variables.

With Translate Variable Names unticked the Cobwebb Designer behaves just as it always has, ticked and all Variable names will be translated. Note: This will mean that Variable replacement and Variable comparison will start working with unusual named variables, however, @G_ Global Variables will only persist across documents in Cobwebb Server Versions > 6.2.82 .
