Using Fonts with APU
The examples in the remainder of this manual use the fonts in the AFP Font
Collection. You should verify that you have these fonts available before going
on. Your results may differ depending on the fonts defined on your system.
APU provides an interface that makes selecting fonts simple. During installation,
APU determines which fonts (character sets) are on your system and loads them
into this interface. APU distinguishes between IBM-supplied fonts and your own
custom fonts.
Most common fonts are selected by font family, typeface (normal, bold, italic, and
combinations), and point size. This is how APU selects fonts for your document.
You can select fonts for constant text or for text from the application. The example
below shows how to map application data to a new font.
To follow the examples provided in the remaining sections of this chapter, you will
need a print definition and a sample spooled file.
v Refer to “Setting up a Basic Print Definition” on page 36 for instructions on how
to create a print definition you will call MYPRTDEF.
v Refer to “Further Defining the Print Definition” on page 38 for instructions on
how to select a sample spooled file called INVPRE.
Select option 12 (Work with...).
Select option 10 (Define) on the Work with Copies panel and then select Define
field mapping on the Define a Copy panel to have the Define Field Mapping
panel appear.
From the Define Field Mapping panel, use F14 to mark the beginning of the
“Improved Printing Corp.” field and F15 to mark the end of the field. Once you
have taken these two steps, the Select Function panel appears.
