Chapter 5. IBM AFP Fonts for ASCII Data

When you specify a coded font name with the chars parameter of the acif
command or the line2afp command, the font name is limited to four characters,
excluding the two-character prefix.

|

Figure 19 provides a list of the IBM Core Interchange Fonts for use with

|

unformatted ASCII input data. Because these fonts have eight-character names, the

|

table also provides a list of six-character short names. (Reminder: PSF for AIX

|

must be installed if you want to use documented examples that contain pathnames

|

indicating PSF.) These coded fonts are installed in the /usr/lpp/psf/reslib directory

|

when the psf.acif installation option is installed for PSF 2.1 for AIX. However, for

|

InfoPrint Manager, the ACIF component is installed automatically. The installation

|

program also creates the symbolic links of the eight-character names that

|

correspond to the six-character names. You may use these short names,

without

|

the

X

prefix, to satisfy the four-character limitation for specifying font names with

|

the chars parameter.
