AFP over sized characters

One feature we use a lot with our AFPDS print is the CHRSIZ keyword.  Now
that I'm having to do more HPT (HOD, CAE, AFP2PDFetc.) this seems to not
be a good choice.

Here is how I understand it:  we are by default using printer resident
fonts.  Nothing directly intentional.  These fonts are effectively fixed
sized.  When you go to PCL there is no representative capability so the
function is ignored.  I've read a little bit about the downloadable fonts
and outline fonts and have to admit I'm confused about outline fonts and
what printers they can be used on.  We use IBM IPDS printers and on the
OS/400 fonts collection.  What methods are there to get an over sized
character that can be used when printing to a IPDS printer or also via
HPT?
