4033.0. "Specifying fonts - DEClaser 2250" by BIS1::DESTRIJCKER (Back again to the home town) Wed Mar 30 1994 15:00

    Hi everybody,
    
    Is there somebody there who can point me in the right direction on how
    to make fonts selectable when creating your own printer styles?
    
    This conference, nor the WPS-PLUS one or STARS have been any help.
    
    E.g., if I edit the lps20 printer type record, could I in the font bit
    say, validation type DATASET or LIST and then something similar to the
    'LPS$LAYUP:.LUP' like in the layup definition. 
    
    Is this readily available or have I got to do it all myself?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Wivine.
    PS.: ALL-IN-1 3.0 +MUPA

This field provides an ALL-IN-1 interface equivalent to the PRINT /PARAMETER=FONTS_USED parameter. The fonts available on your system can be listed using the following command: $LIBRARY/LIST SYS$LIBRARY:CPS$ANSI_FONTS.TLB There is not an ALL-IN-1 dataset to access the Librarian so if you want to perform validation on the entries you will have to use a LIST. > Is this readily available or have I got to do it all myself? The available fonts are specific to your system so you must set this up yourself according to what fonts are on your system. Richard
4033.2	More FONTS.....	BIS1::DESTRIJCKER	Back again to the home town	`Tue Apr 19 1994 15:46`	13
	Thanks Richard. I got it nicely passed to the print command but what was requested was to print a WPSPLUS message using a particular font of their choice. Now, using fonts_used seems to load the particular font but the text still comes out as courier whatever. Does this imply that to use a particular font it needs to be specified within the document as well or within a form? Am I right? Thanks in advance. Wivine.
4033.3	FONTS_USED just loads fonts	IOSG::NEWLAND	Richard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2	`Wed Apr 20 1994 15:23`	6
	FONTS_USED allows you to load fonts that emulate LN03 and DEClaser font cartridges when you are printing ANSI files. Your WPS-PLUS document has to select the loaded fonts for them to be used. Richard
