Use the Work with Font Character Set Name to define the Font Character Set Name and Code Page of downloaded fonts.

Entries

Char set [SBCS only]

The Font Character Set Name.  If the Font Resource is not found in QFNTCPL or another specified library an error message will be displayed.

Use the command WRKFNTRSC with library name QFNTCPL to display a list of available fonts.  Most of the fonts in QFNTCPL are included in the Cobwebb Fonts groups FONT1 - FONT13.  To print a sample of each font change the Font group of your Userid to one of the above and create a test fax using text e.g. the Standard Text 'FONTS'.

Code Page [SBCS only]

The Code Page to be used with this font.  The code page is normally T1V1 followed by the Character Set name defined in the System Value QCHRID. e.g. for the UK T1V10285.

PC Code Page:- If either code pages T1000437 or T1000850 are used the text characters will be translated from EBCDIC to ASCII and sent to the printer as ASCII.  A PC Font is used if line drawing characters are required, as line drawing characters are not available in EBCDIC fonts. Vertical line drawing is not satisfactory unless the lines per inch match the size of the vertical line, if this is not the case the vertical line appears with a gap between each line.

Coded Font [DBCS only]

This is the name of the coded font for the double byte character set e.g. X0HB3D [CHARACTER SET C0H201D0 AND CODEPAGE T1000259]. This contains the Character Set and the Code Page information.

Library

When a font character set name is used the font resource must be available to the program, so the font library name must be in the library list. Specify the font library name if the font library is not in the library list.  If the fonts are in the IBM i font library 'QFNTCPL' it does not need to be specified.
