Scalable Fonts

In addition to the IBM 4028 and 3816 bitmap fonts, the IPDS functionality also
uses Scalable AGFA fonts.
The following table lists available fonts and their mappings from IBM Font
Global Identifiers to AGFA numbers.
Table 2. Scalable Fonts
IPDS FGID AGFA #
404 93779
416 93950
420 93952
424 93951
428 93953
The fonts listed in Table 2 as standard is available by default in every non-
impact build. The optional fonts are available as part of the Printronix
Additional Font Diskettes.
NOTE: Download the optional fonts to the printer's flash memory separately
to make them available for IPDS.
Additional fonts other than the fonts listed in Table 2 may be available in the
future.
XOA – Request Resource List (RRL) Reply
All of the IPDS scalable fonts in the printer will be added to the XOA-RRL
replies to report their availability to the host PSF. The IPDS scalable fonts will
be reported in the RRL Resource Type X'07': Font character sets , and will
specify a Font Width (FW) of X'0000' to indicate that it is a scalable font.

Font Selection

The scalable fonts can be selected from the host similar to the resident bitmap
fonts in the Global Resource ID (GRID) portion of the Load Font Equivalence
command. The width of the font is specified in 1440ths of an inch in the Font
Width bytes of the GRID. A Font Width of X'FFFF' indicates that the width of
the printer default font is used. The scalable fonts can be used within text,
graphics, or bar code HRI data.
