5.7.1CHANGING TYPESTYLES

The typestyle number (FGID) selected determines the font to be used. The system operator selects a default typestyle when the printer is configured on the host; however, a word-processing program may also have a default typestyle. Since the default typestyle can vary depending on the system setup, ask the system operator if you have questions about the default typestyle on the system.

There are two ways to change typestyles:

•Select a typestyle number within the program or document

•Use font-change commands in the document

Refer to the manuals for the program (for example, OfficeVision/400) to change typestyles in the program. Font Change commands are placed in the document by the user (see Section 5.7.2). The four-character font command changes the text to the new font until another Font Change command is entered.

The host does not know that a font change has taken place, and may send the original font number to the printer at the beginning of each page. Therefore, the user may have to put a Font Change command at the beginning of each new page. If the pitch is changed, there may be formatting problems, since the host is still formatting each line accor- ding to the pitch of the original

typestyle number. Text Management/38 does not allow more than one font per line of text, so Font Change commands must be used in such cases.

5.7.2FONT-CHANGE COMMANDS

Font-change commands allow fonts to be changed in the document without using host commands. The commands can be used in either data processing (RPG, BASIC programs, etc.) or in word- processing documents.

Two types of font-change commands exist. Both commands can be placed anywhere within a document. The command consists of the “logical not” (¬) symbol, and either a capitalized “Q” or “F” followed by the typestyle number corresponding to the desired font. The “^” symbol can be used in place of the “¬” for non-US applications.

The font-change command occupies space in the program or text; however, the command does not print.

•¬Q—Font-change commands using the capital letter “Q” allow the user to access a vast number of printer-resident and optional cartridge fonts. Appendix A shows the typestyle numbers assigned to the supported fonts. Each typestyle number describes a particular font with particular attributes. For example, typestyle number 88 represents Courier Bold, 12 pitch, 10 point.
