RE: AFP over sized characters

Michael,

Most normal HP or other laser printers have
enough scalable fonts to allow you to use:
A        FONT(420 (*POINTSIZE 8))
and get about any font or size you would need.

On "true" IPDS printers you are limited to the
native printer fonts that are marked as scalable
or to downloadable from the font collection.
I don't believe that you can mix or match. IBM
also offers a type manager that can convert any
ADOBE font to AFP format and load it to the 400
for use.

A great source of info is the sequence of redbooks
on AS/400 printing.

Good luck!

Konrad
