Return to the Printing Tips

I am trying to write a report that needs to print with different size fonts.

I've been reading about AFP, Host Print Transform and PSF. But so far this has only confused me, any help would be appreciated.

AFP is fairly straightforward when all you want is multiple font support. Here is sample DDS. Compile with DEVTYPE(*AFPDS):

A          R FONTS
A                                     1'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
A                                      FONT(002)
A                                    +1'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
A                                      FONT(002)
A                                    +1'1234567890!@#$%?&*()_+-=;:,./?'
A                                      FONT(002)
A                                    +1' - Delegate 10 (002)'
A                                      FONT(002)
A                                      SPACEA(1)

There is a list of fonts in the CL manual.

Create your printer description as DEVTYPE(*IPDS) AFP(*YES) and you should be all set.
