Phil,  AFP is fairly straightforward when all you want is multiple font
support.  Here is sample DDS.  Compile with DEVTYPE(*AFPDS):

A          R FONTS 
A                                     1'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'     
A                                      FONT(002)                        
A                                    +1'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'     
A                                      FONT(002)                        
A                                    +1'1234567890!@#$%¢&*()_+-=;:,./?' 
A                                      FONT(002)                        
A                                    +1' - Delegate 10 (002)'           
A                                      FONT(002)                        
A                                      SPACEA(1)                        
<repeat as desired>

There is a list of fonts in the CL manual.

Create your printer description as DEVTYPE(*IPDS) AFP(*YES) and you should
be all set.
