DDS PRTF FONT QUESTIONS

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am looking for a list of fonts than can be used in DDS print file

type *AFPDS. I have to do a form with data that has over 10

different character sizes, some bold, some not. I have the

table in Appendix 1 in OS/400 Printer Device Programming V4R4

but it only lists font name, number & type. I started creating a

sample of each font, but this will take a while.

I need a font that can scale from tiny legal print to 1/2 inch characters. Bold, italic & regular.

Also don't understand the character size on typographic fonts.

I thought a size = 1 is 1/72 inch, 2=2/72, etc. But when I do

font 2304 (Helvetica Roman) size 1 looks like regular 10 cpi,

not the tiny print of 1/72 inch. The CRTPRTF fails if I specify

a size of 0.2 to try & get smaller.

Can anyone help me with what works here? Must be done

by tomorrow. Do not have AFP product or PSF other than

base parts loaded by default. V4R4 - (V4R5 soon).
