1655.0. "ALL-IN-1, VT220 & LN03 on Printer_Port" by MFOIS1::TURCHI (From South of France) Fri Oct 23 1992 18:50

    Hello World,
    
    I'm novice with fonts on LN03, and I need some help for printing :
    
    The context : I have a LN03 attached to the printer port of a VT220,
    and I use ALL-IN-1 (like you, I suppose) to create and print documents.
    
    I just want to use the fonts I can see on test-sheet of the LN03.
    
    How can I do it easily ??
    
    I've read many and many notes, in many conferences, but it looks like
    people using printers on systems, not on printer_port.
    
    Many thanks in advance,
    Jean-Pierre.

1655.1What type of documents?IOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4AFri Oct 23 1992 18:564
What type of documents are you creating (e.g. WPS-PLUS, ASCII, etc.), and 
what version of ALL-IN-1 are you using?

    Hello,
    
    I'm using ALL-IN-1 version 2.4 for creating and editing texts with WPS
    (PLUS or not PLUS, don't know - How can I see that ?).
    
    Texts are standard texts files, and I want to use the different fonts
    for a nice and funny printed document.

The US SWC options will show you what your default editor is.

1655.5PRINTER FONTIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4AMon Oct 26 1992 16:1212
The WPS-PLUS control block command you need is PRINTER FONT, for example:

    ------------------------------START CONTROL---------------------------
    PRINTER FONT 10_POINT_ROMAN
    -------------------------------END CONTROL----------------------------


The fonts that can be specified depend on the font cartridges being used.  
There are not many fonts available in a standard LN03 printer.

    Refer to Keywords.wpl in OA$LIB: to get the full list of these printer
    command keywords.
    
    Import it into ALL-IN-1 using DT RV to read/print it.

1655.10It was new with WPS-PLUS V4IOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4ATue Oct 27 1992 16:0113
The file will only exist if you are using:

	ALL-IN-1 V2.4 with the WPS-PLUS V4 Update Option

	ALL-IN-1 V3.0 (with WPS-PLUS V4.1 integrated)


I think Jean-Pierre is using a system running ALL-IN-1 V2.4 (with WPS-PLUS 
V3.1 integrated).

1655.13Good and bad newsMFOIS1::TURCHIFrom South of FranceFri Oct 30 1992 16:1019
    Hello,
    
    Well, I received KEYWORDS.WPL (thanks, Richard) by MAIL and read it.
    Very interesting, but too much informations for my little
    configuration!!!
    As said in a previous reply, I can change fonts using START CONTROL,
    END CONTROL and a sentence between. Works fine with 6.7 & 10 POINT
    COURIER, 10 POINT ELITE, NORMAL (power-up font) and LANDSCAPE also,
    with the 4 fonts.
    But I cannot print with other fonts: if I try OCR_A, or 10_POINT_US
    _LEGAL, or some others, I get a full black character. Full, because
    place of the character is fully black. Black rectangles, you see ?
    Cannot print borders, too.
    
    Maybe my ALL-IN-1 system is missing some tables ? Don't know...
    
    More ideas ?
    Have a nice week-end,
    Jean-Pierre.
1655.14Font cartridgesIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4AFri Oct 30 1992 16:2011
Most of the LN03 fonts listed in KEYWORDS.WPL are only available if you
have the required font cartridge inserted into the LN03 front panel.  If
you request a font which is not available you get a blank rectangle. 

Therefore it is your LN03 which is missing fonts rather than your ALL-IN-1
system missing tables.  The LN03 Test page lists the fonts which are loaded
into the printer.

1655.15 Comparisons MFOIS1::TURCHIFrom South of FranceMon Nov 02 1992 09:4016
Hello Richard,

I've done some comparisons between test-sheet and the texts I print : If you
look at a test-sheet, starting at BOTTOM of sheet, the first 2 lines you see
are printed with 10_POINT_COURIER font, then the next 2 lines use the NORMAL
font, and the next 2 use 10_POINT_ELITE. Right ? The next 2 lines, LANDSCAPE
mode, seem to use 6.7_POINT_COURIER. This looks fine for me.

But starting with top of patterns, you can see 2 lines of big characters in 
landscape mode, printed with which FONT ???

Any idea on how to have borders ?

Thanks for your replies, have a nice day,
Jean-Pierre.

If you are referring to the DMDRGTH font then I don't think WPS-PLUS
supports this. 


> Any idea on how to have borders ?

I don't think WPS-PLUS supports borders on an LN03.  


You may get more information by asking in the MAGIC::WPS-PLUS-V3 
conference.

1655.18Ln03+ big lettersCSC32::G_MIXONTue Nov 03 1992 18:056
    
    The big letters are only on the ln03+. They can be accessed with the
    escape chars <ESC>[19m - To access from WPSPLUS you would have to add a 
    keyword and use a control block.

    Thanks for your reply, Glenn, but the big letters I was talking about
    are printed on the test-sheet, so I assume my LN03 can print with this
    font.
    
    This discussion continues on MAGIC::WPS-PLUS-V3, note 1702.
