First, your specific help: I can't give you any. Font ID 011 should be Courier, 10 CPI. Perhaps there is a menu setting on the printer itself that is overriding the 400? I use 011 and it comes out exactly as I expect. As for the manual reference - that's what I get for using my own memory without looking it up first I suppose. I apologise in advance for including all the links. I'm trying to show how and where I found this stuff for the archives. I usually look in the CL Reference Appendix B, because that's what I remember: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/QB3AUP02/APPENDIX1.2 This is V4R3 but I can't imagine newer releases added much information to these tables. Thinking that I just might be wrong, I went to the V4R5 CL Reference manual http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/QB3AUP04/CCONTENTS where I get to read that my desired information is in the Information Centre. Oh, boy! Fortunately, IBM provided me with a link: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/v4r5/ic2924/info/rbam6_frm.htm I search on "font ID" and get nothing. "Font" gives me a link to "Printer File Attributes" which explains that a font ID tells you what font you want to use. Giving up on that, I backtrack to the CL topic and take the link for CL Commands. I'm looking for CHGPRTF FONT(), so I hit the alphabetical list of commands and use my browser's "search in a web page" function to find "chgprtf" and take that link: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/v4r5/ic2924/info/cl/chgprtf.ht m The FONT parameter points me to the Printer Device Programming book: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/QB3AUJ02/CCONTENTS where Appendix D gives me a font listing: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/QB3AUJ02/APPENDIX1.4.5.1 2.2#TBLLISTFON Thinking that the Information Centre search engine had... issues, I tried http://www.search400.com I didn't have the patience to wade through all the hits, but one caught my eye: http://www.printers.ibm.com/R5PSC.NSF/web/fonts It doesn't provide the font listing I'm after, but there's other more generic AFP information there that could prove interesting... All in all, long way to go.
