  • DDS fonts and point sizes

    Here's my issue

    I am printing labels out of the I5 to a windows server that converst the file to an IPDS format (winIPDS).

    It does a great job at doing this. The issue is the font and point size. I need a bold 8 pt font, preferrably courier new.

    Anyone have any ideas what the font type are called when you hit F4 in the CHGPRTF command for the FONT space?

    Thanks

      You can specify the font in your print file (PRTF) like this:

      FONT(180 (*POINTSIZE 15))

      Here is a link to an IBM utility that can be downloaded and executed to produce a printout of all resident fonts:



      I'm not sure "Courier New" is a valid font on the iSeries but you may be able to come very close...
