Re: Can HPT handle font keywords?

Hi Mark,

HPT should support the DDS keywords FONT, FNTCHRSET
and the keyword for Coded Fonts correctly. As far as I
know, it does not support CHRSIZ because that keyword
causes an IPDS capable printer to build a printer
resident graphic font (of character size x and y) from
a standard printer resident font. HPT doesn't support
the type of graphic font expected by CHRSIZ.

HTH

Best Regards,

 Can Host Print Transform handle data generated with
DDS keywords: 
FONT,
FNTCHRSET, CHRSIZ?  No error is generated, but I am
receiving either 
blank
pages or what appears to be regular text (it might be
slightly smaller 
and
bolder, but it's hard to tell.)

 Using FONTNAME (under v5R3):

[Note: BNAME length is 24.]

     A            BNAME     R             10          
                    
     A                                     
FONTNAME('Times New Roman 
WT' +
     A                                     
(*POINTSIZE 18.0 18.0) +

     A                                      (*CODEPAGE

     A                                      SKIPA( 1 )
