Font support overview
There are 3 major sets of fonts supported by the SIMM for IPDS.
• IBM Core Interchange Font Set
• IBM Coordinated Font Set
• IBM 4028 Compatibility Font Set / IBM 38xx Compatibility Font Set
All printer emulations support the Core Interchange Font Set and the Coordinated Font
Set.
The 4028 Compatibility Font Set is compatible with the 4028 and the 3112/16 printers.
These fonts are supported as 300 dpi bitmaps. For some of these fonts the IPDS can use
an equivalent scalable font. This is controlled by the Font Type option under IPDS
MENU. When this option is set to Use Scalable, improved font quality will result,
since the scalable fonts use the higher resolution of the printer. This font set is available
in 4028, 3112/16 and 43xx mode.
The 3812/16 Compatible Font Set is compatible with the 3812/16 printer fonts. These
240 dpi fonts are converted to the IPDS working resolution (600 or 1200 dpi). Some of
the fonts can also be replaced by Scalable Equivalents for better quality. This font set is
only available in 3812/16 mode.
