Hi Bill -

I'd be very interested in this. Thanks!

Yes I'm testing some now, both True Type and Open Type. You have to
generate *AFPDS and have a relatively advanced IPDS printer that has advance
outline font support OR use HPT-Host Print Transform to convert the AFPDS.

See the printer section of the DDS manual for FONTNAME.
For V5R2 and 3 see
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=%2Frzau6%2Frzau6tt52.htm
For a V7R1 see
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v7r1m0/topic/rzau6/rzau6.pdfPage 17 or so

When this option was first made available, only True Type fonts could be
used. Open Type fonts were added later. Fonts MUST be Unicode capable and
acceptable to PSF/400, but the only easy way to tell is to use an installer,
which will filter out fonts that cannot be used. If you test to an IPDS
printer and get the font name wrong, it will complain in an error message.
If you use HPT, it is just like any other PCL, in that you will always get a
font, but it may not be the one you expected!

I've loaded about 100+ fonts that I believe are in the public domain and
will make these available with a IBM_dataObjectFont.rat and a font catalog
program, if anyone is interested.
