IBM S544-5351-03 manual Using Fonts with APU, Printersville

Using Fonts with APU

The examples in the remainder of this manual use the fonts in the AFP Font Collection. You should verify that you have these fonts available before going on. Your results may differ depending on the fonts defined on your system.

APU provides an interface that makes selecting fonts simple. During installation, APU determines which fonts (character sets) are on your system and loads them into this interface. APU distinguishes between IBM-supplied fonts and your own custom fonts.

Most common fonts are selected by font family, typeface (normal, bold, italic, and combinations), and point size. This is how APU selects fonts for your document. You can select fonts for constant text or for text from the application. The example below shows how to map application data to a new font.

To follow the examples provided in the remaining sections of this chapter, you will need a print definition and a sample spooled file.

vRefer to ªSetting up a Basic Print Definitionº on page 36 for instructions on how to create a print definition you will call MYPRTDEF.

vRefer to ªFurther Defining the Print Definitionº on page 38 for instructions on how to select a sample spooled file called INVPRE.

Select option 12 (Work with...).

Select option 10 (Define) on the Work with Copies panel and then select Define field mapping on the Define a Copy panel to have the Define Field Mapping panel appear.

From the Define Field Mapping panel, use F14 to mark the beginning of the ªImproved Printing Corp.º field and F15 to mark the end of the field. Once you have taken these two steps, the Select Function panel appears.
