7.2.1 Capturing Fonts from an AS/400 or iSeries
7.2.1.1 Program Requirements
On an AS/400, PSF/400 V4R2 or later is required for making fonts eligible for capture. All iSeries
releases support font capture.
7.2.1.2 Making Fonts Eligible for Capture on the Host
Two steps are required to capture fonts. These are:
1. Make the font resource eligible for capture.
To mark a font resource eligible for capture, set FNTCAPTURE to *YES. This is done when you create
the font resource using the CRTFNTRSC command or change the font resource using the CHGFNTRSC
command. A raster font is built from a font character set and a code page. Both of these font resources
must be marked eligible for the raster font to be captured. Additional information on font capture may be
found in iSeries Printer Device Programming Version 5 (SC41-5713-04).
2. Identify the printer as being capable of capturing fonts.
Set the FNTCAPTURE parameter to *YES in the printer PSFCONFIG.
Note: If you need to make TrueType fonts eligible for capture, you should probably use the Font
Installer for AFP Systems.
