reverse font

How can I create a reverse font (white on black) in a DEVTYPE(*AFPDS)
printer file?  I'm looking for a reverse font ID in AFP on AS/400, or
something akin to this in DDS:

DFT('   This Is Not A Bill   ')
FONT(33335 (*POINTSIZE 7)) REVERSE

But of course REVERSE is not valid.  I'm using a black & white printer, no
color.

By the way I already tried the "Windows Paint (reverse image)  --> IBM AFP
Printer Driver for Windows --> Stream File --> Database File --> *PAGSEG
object" method to import reverse-image text into a printer file, but the
results are ugly pel "stair stepped" letters, I dare not use in a
professional overlay.
