Appendix F - Font-ID Information

This appendix lists the standard fonts shipped with InterForm400 for both PCL/PDF and Zebra printers. Also a list showing typefaces of the most used resident fonts of PCL printers is included.

IBM 3812 font-ID Information

The system uses the IBM font ID’s to select fonts.

This font list will include the standard IBM 3812 font set (3 to 2103). If printed on a PCL printer the fonts will be emulated by the selection of PCL printer type (refer to page 120, 268 and 374).

The most complete emulation is obtained by selecting the HP4 or HP4D printer types.

The available font definitions can be prompted by F4 from different locations in the system and will include the fonts defined under option Description of additional fonts in the menu Work with Fonts (see page 279)

Note that the extra fonts (e.g. 9903), predefined for use in the sample described in the Getting Started section on page 21, has been added to the prompted list. These fonts are not available on standard IBM SNA printers (such as 3812, 4028, 3916 and 3116) but only on HPIII and HP4 compatible printers.

Note that your printer may contain a number of native resident fonts, which are most likely not described in the AS/400 Guide to Programming for Printing from IBM. These fonts therefore have to be declared to the system under Description of additional fonts (page 279) in order to have them listed on the font list generated by the InterForm400® system and in the list prompted by F4 (displayed on page 38)
