R: AFP features

["Marco Facchinetti" <facchinetti@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry if it cames so late.


This is from the manual S544-5292-02

IBM AFP Toolbox for Multiple Operating
Systems
User's Guide

AS/400
A program is included with the AFP Toolbox that can develop and diagnose
problems in your
output AFP documents.
You can use the QYTBFLIST (FLIPLIST) utility (Font Library Index Program
List tool) to display the
list of fonts that are currently defined on your system. The command has one
parameter, the name
of the file where you want to display the output. If you do not specify an
output file, the output
goes to your terminal.

Code Pages
You can also use QYTBFLIST to verify the installation of the FontMeister
component of the AFP
Toolbox. If FLIPLIST produces output, the AFP Toolbox is installed
correctly.
The output from FLIPLIST defines the valid input combinations for the Define
Font By Attribute and
Define Font By Name function calls in the AFP Toolbox. Here is an example of
some output from
the FLIPLIST tool:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Typeface name Style Width Deci-Points Char Set AFM File
--------------------------------------------------------------------
BOLDFACE LATIN1 Roman Medium 120 C08400B0 BFC
BOOKMASTER LATIN1 Roman Medium 50 C0B20050 EDFBL
BOOKMASTER LATIN1 Italic Medium 50 C0B30050 EDFBLI
BOOKMASTER LATIN1 Roman Medium 50 C0B40050 EDFBLB
...
To print an AFP stream file try PRTAFPDTA and F4.

Hope it helps.
