4033.0. "Specifying fonts - DEClaser 2250" by BIS1::DESTRIJCKER (Back again to the home town) Wed Mar 30 1994 14:00

    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.

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.

The available fonts are specific to your system so you must set this up 
yourself according to what fonts are on your system.

4033.2More FONTS.....BIS1::DESTRIJCKERBack again to the home townTue Apr 19 1994 14:4613
    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.
4033.3FONTS_USED just loads fontsIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO2-G/L2Wed Apr 20 1994 14:236
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.
