RE: Bold printing using *AFPDS and internal printing.

If I open the *AFPDS spooled file using the Softlanding Spooled Files
tool I can see it "double print" this data as well ( the data is
presented in a stream and not in records).

The font code I am using is 230 (A gothic font I believe). I have not
tried to use that font in any other printing situation where I bold in
an external print file.

I have yet to been able to print an overlay on *SCS. Every time I have
tried, our Xerox print keeps asking me to insert an 8.5 x 13" paper
size. One we do not have and I do not know if I can force it override
to another size.

I have overridden a program described report that prints bold in *SCS
form to be *AFPDS form instead specifying nothing more on the override
and the bold no longer appears on print but DSPSPLF indicates there is
overprinting.

Thanks, Matt

Double printing, as Booth describes, is probably how the bolding is done
in *SCS print. In *AFPDS, the graphics will just overlay.

Matt may be forcing a font substitution into a font group that doesn't
have bold glyphs. I'd need to know a lot more details about how the
print file is set up.

One can use an overlay on *SCS output. You can't do font substitution,
though, other than CPI, rotation, and COR.
