If major parts of this form are unchanging then use an Overlay for that part. Overlays are easy to do and you have the stuff to do it with.

Subject: DDS PRTF FONT QUESTIONS

I am looking for a list of fonts than can be used in DDS print file
type *AFPDS. I have to do a form with data that has over 10
different character sizes, some bold, some not. I have the
table in Appendix 1 in OS/400 Printer Device Programming V4R4
but it only lists font name, number & type. I started creating a
sample of each font, but this will take a while.
I need a font that can scale from tiny legal print to 1/2 inch characters. Bold, italic & regular.
Also don't understand the character size on typographic fonts.
I thought a size = 1 is 1/72 inch, 2=2/72, etc. But when I do
font 2304 (Helvetica Roman) size 1 looks like regular 10 cpi,
not the tiny print of 1/72 inch. The CRTPRTF fails if I specify
a size of 0.2 to try & get smaller.
Can anyone help me with what works here? Must be done
by tomorrow. Do not have AFP product or PSF other than
base parts loaded by default. V4R4 - (V4R5 soon).
