Intermate AS/400, i5, iSeries manual Create font ID for the Arial soft-font

Step 3. Create font ID for the Arial soft-font

8.Before we can use the arial font in an overlay we must describe the font to the system. We select option ‘7. Work with fonts’ in the InterForm400® administration menu and then option ‘1. Description of additional fonts’. We will define a font number for our Arial font.

9.We enter 5001 and get the following screen:

Create Font			APF370D
Font	5001	Other fonts
Description	Arial	24 point Italic/Bold______________
Spacing	1	0=Fixed, 1=Proportional
Pitch	_1.00	0.10-49.99
Height	_24.00	1.00-792.00
Style	1	0=Upright	1=Italic 4=Condensed
		5=Condensed italic
Stroke weight	3	(-7 - +7)	0=Medium <0=Light >0=Bold
Typeface	33000	0-65535
Symbol set	_____	blank=standard
Override spacing	_____	blank=standard

F3=Exit F12=Cancel

First we state the Font-ID 5001, which has the highest priority after the Symbol set which was defined as CodePage850 under step 4. Then we state proportional spacing, ‘1' for the Pitch (Pitch is not used for Proportional spaced fonts), 24 point Height, Italic style and Stroke weight bold (=3).

For the typeface we use any number in the interval 32769-65535. We select 33000 in this case.

Step 4. Define auto-download of fonts (Arial and OCRB)

Finally, we need to add download information for the Arial and OCRB fonts to our printer group.

10.We select option 7. Work with fonts in the InterForm400® administration menu and then option 3. Auto download soft font.
