Different Code Pages
Code pages accommodate various national languages by using characters and special symbols
appropriate to the language. Code pages can have identical character IDs assigned to different code
points.
For example, the character é(lowercase e accent acute, character ID LE110000) has the following code
point assignments in two different code pages:
vHexadecimal code point 51 in code page T1V10037 (Country Extended: United States, Canada,
Figure 64)
vHexadecimal code point 5A in code page T1V10280 (Country Extended: Italy)
Global Resource IDentifier (GRID)
Youmight encounter the term GRID in other Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) publications. A GRID,
an acronym for Global Resource Identifier, is used byAFP printers to identify resident fonts, to perform
font substitution, and by some operating systems and applications to identify fonts used in text. AGRID is
often used by PSF to determine if a printer-resident font is available for activation or if a font must be
downloaded.
GRID values are also used in font substitution scenarios. For example, if a font is requested that is not
resident in the printer, nor is it resident on the host system, an alternate font may be selected for download
(or activation) by PSF.GRID tables are built into PSF for this purpose. These tables are also used to
cross-reference font resources names and GRID values.
A GRID is similar to a coded font in that it identifies a character set, a code page, and the size of the
characters to be printed. It does this by using the following four identifiers that can be used to uniquely
identify font resources:
