Loading IBM AFP resident outline fonts

Enhanced font support

IPS Gateway User's Guide (5/2002)
IPS Gateway provides the ability to load and use printer-resident AFP
scalable outline fonts. These fonts are loaded from the IBM AFP font
collection CD, which is purchased separately. The AFP font collection
product number for AIX and OS/2 is 5648-B45.
NOTE: The AFP font collection product number for AIX and OS/2
changed from 5648-113 to 5648-B45. IPS Gateway supports both of
these product numbers (both CDs contain the correct set of fonts).
Fonts are converted for use with IPDS jobs and stored on the printer when
they are loaded. Although they reside on the printer, they cannot be viewed
using the DocuSP Font Manager. A sample job is provided to verify that
resident outline font support is properly installed on the printer controller. (To
remove the fonts, see "Removing resident outline
A default resident outline font is provided for instances where the
requested AFP font is not resident or the default is specifically requested.
This default font cannot be changed.
Enhanced Font Support can be enabled for host environments that expect
resident outline font substitution for raster fonts.
The Enhanced Font Support feature is an extension of the printer-resident
outline font support in IPS Gateway. Most hosts download required raster
fonts. This feature is most beneficial when using the OS/400 (iSeries) host
environment with resident outline fonts. The OS/400 expects resident
outline font support to include all font types and expects the printer to
resolve font substitution requirements; there is no distinction between
raster font and outline font requests. This feature may also be beneficial
to other host environments for solving font errors. See
setup" for specific host setup instructions.
When the AFP resident outline fonts are loaded, this feature defaults to
Enabled in the IPS Gateway IPDS Setup tab. Use this information to
decide whether or not to disable the feature:
• Enabled — When Enhanced Font Support is enabled, if the host
requests a raster font, IPS Gateway substitutes an equivalent
resident outline font if one is available. If the host requests a font for
which there is no resident outline font match or equivalent, the
default resident outline font is used.
• Disabled — When Enhanced Font Support is disabled, no font
substitution occurs. Requests for fonts that are resident are honored;
all other fonts will be downloaded by the host. The default resident
outline font is used only when explicitly requested by the host.
