with more than one font, then the input file must contain table
reference characters, and you must:
Specify trc=yes.
Use chars to indicate the fonts to be associated with each Table
Reference Character (TRC).
fontname1
is associated with TRC 0,
fontname2
is associated with TRC 1, and so on.
If the page definition does not name any fonts, and you want the
whole file to print with only one font, then you must:
Specify trc=no.
Use chars to indicate the single font in which the file should be
printed.
Consider the following when specifying fonts with the chars
parameter:
If the input file is unformatted ASCII, you can do one of the
following:
– Specify a font that has the appropriate ASCII code points. To
specify a font search path, either use the fontlib parameter to
specify it explicitly, or set the PSFPATH environment variable
to search the appropriate directories. See Chapter 5, “IBM
AFP Fonts for ASCII Data” on page 77 for a list of suggested
ASCII fonts.
– Use the apka2e or asciinpe input record exit programs to
convert the ASCII code points in the input file into EBCDIC,
and use EBCDIC fonts. To do this, use the inpexit parameter,
specifying:
- inpexit=/usr/lpp/psf/bin/apka2e
or
- inpexit=/usr/lpp/psf/bin/asciinpe
See the inpexit parameter on page 39 for a description of
apka2e and asciinpe functions.
You can specify fonts with the chars parameter only if you want
the entire file printed in a single printing direction. The acif
command uses the fonts that have 0° character rotation for the
specified direction. When a file requires fonts with more than one
print direction or character rotation, you must specify the fonts in
the page definition.
You can specify from one to four fonts with the chars parameter.
If you specify more than one font with the chars parameter, then
the input file must contain table reference characters, and you
must specify trc=yes.
If you use chars to specify fonts, but you also use the pagedef
parameter to specify a page definition that names fonts, the chars
parameter is ignored. Therefore, if your page definition names
fonts, you should not use chars.
