fixed pitch fonts. For proportionally spaced (typographic) fonts, the user must specify the font that is to be printed.

Like an IBM 5219 printer, the 3812 printer is configured with a default font ID on the host. Configure the most commonly used font as the system default, then change the font as necessary with a font-change command in the document (see Section 6.4.1), a printer override, or an OCL command.

Table 6-1 below shows which fonts can be used as system defaults for a System/36 or System/38 host.

6.4.1FONT-CHANGE COMMANDS

You can place font-change commands within the text of a word-processing or data-processing document to select a font other than the default font. The commands appear on the screen but do not print. The font change takes effect immediately and continues until the next font change. See Appendix A for a list of font IDs.
