Re: FNTCHRSET, Code ID, and Faxing from the AS/400

["David Morris" <dmorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brad,

The code pages are described in the "AS/400 International Application 
Development" manual, QB3AQ501.  We did not receive this manual 
on CD, and I don't believe it was online until recently.  The code page is 
part of the character identifier and identifies a character set.  For faxing, 
we use a small subset of the available fonts.  The AFP printers we have 
use resident fonts that are not available with faxing.  Through trial and 
error, I found a few that did not generate the substitution, or substituted 
with an acceptably close font and that is what we use.

Hi all.

Recently started working on a new project and they are having problems
faxing invoices.

They print out fine, but when they are faxed, the fonts are substituted with
unacceptable print.

Anyhow, I did a search on dejanews and someone mentioned that instead of
using the FONT keyword in the DDS to use the FNTCHRSET keyword.  We have
some of the AFP fonts installed (are going to install all of them soon).
Anyhow, while researching this keyword, I found it requires a Code Page
value.  

I can't find anywhere that explains what Code Page values do what, which
ones are valid, and what they mean.  Could anyone explain the Code Page
attribute(?) and how it helps with Faxing via AS/400 faxing?  Thanks so
much!
