******************************************************* * UPGRADE - 5648113 SUBSET - >>>> V1R1M0 <<<< * PROGRAM - 5648-113 * DESCRIPTION: IBM AFP FONT COLLECTION * LEVEL: VERSION 1 RELEASE 1 MODIFICATION 0 ******************************************************* ******************************************************************** * INFORMATION: Y2000 PTF FOR FONT COLLECTION * ENVIRONMENT: ALL * LAST UPDATE: 03/19/98 ******************************************************************** THERE IS A Y2000 PTF FOR FONT COLLECTION, BUT IT *ONLY* APPLIES TO TYPE TRANSFORMER, AN OS/2 PROGRAM THAT IS ONLY PROVIDED ON THE FONTS AND PROGRAMS CD-ROM FOR OS/2. EVEN THOUGH 5648-113 MAY BE IDENTIFIED IN VARIOUS OPERATING SYSTEM LISTS (MVS, VM, VSE, ETC.) AS NEEDING THIS PTF, THE FACT IS, THE PTF IS ONLY REQUIRED FOR TYPE TRANSFORMER ON OS/2. THE Y2000 PTF FOR TYPE TRANSFORMER IS UN99425. NO OTHER PTFS ARE AVAILABLE OR REQUIRED FOR ANYTHING ELSE IN 5648-113 AND NO FONT DATA IS AFFECTED BY Y2000 ISSUES. ******************************************************************** * PROBLEM: 300-PEL GOTHIC FONTS FROM COMPATS MAY CAUSE OFF-PAGE * ERRORS * ENVIRONMENT: ALL * LAST UPDATE: 09/16/97 (CHANGED C0D1XXXX.300 TO C0D2XXXX.300) ******************************************************************** 14 OF THE GOTHIC COMPATIBILITY FONTS (LISTED BELOW) EXHIBIT KERNING WHICH MAY CAUSE OFF-PAGE ERRORS IN SOME PAGEDEF APPLICATIONS. THE FONTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED SO AS NOT TO KERN AND MAY BE DOWNLODED FROM FTP SITE: FTP.SOFTWARE.IBM.COM/PRINTERS/PRODUCTS/FONTS/GOTHIC LOG IN AS "ANONYMOUS", PATH TO ABOVE LOCATION, AND READ GOTHIC.TXT FOR INFORMATION ON DOWNLOADING AND REBLOCKING. THE FONTS WERE GIVEN NEW NAMES, BUT MAY BE RENAMED AND USED TO REPLACE THOSE ON YOUR SYSTEM. THE AFFECTED FONTS ARE: THE NEW FONTS ARE: C0D0GI12 C0D2GI12.300 C0D0GL12 C0D2GL12.300 C0D0GT15 C0D2GT15.300 C0D0GT18 C0D2GT18.300 C0D0GT24 C0D2GT24.300 C0D0GB10 C0D2GB10.300 C0D0GB12 C0D2GB12.300 C0D0GL10 C0D2GL10.300 C0D0GL15 C0D2GL15.300 C0D0GT13 C0D2GT13.300 C0D0GR10 C0D2GR10.300 C0D0GT10 C0D2GT10.300 C0D0GT12 C0D2GT12.300 C0D0GT20 C0D2GT20.300 ******************************************************************** * PROBLEM: INSTALLING UNBOUNDED-BOX FONTS ON SYSTEMS WITH APL2 * ENVIRONMENT: MVS * LAST UPDATE: 04/08/97 ******************************************************************** THE APL2 PROGRAM LANGUAGE PRODUCT USED TO ERRONEOUSLY USE AN SMP/E DD OF 'FONTLIB'. THE ATTRIBUTES WERE NOT THE SAME AS THE REAL 3800-3 FONT LIBRARY ALSO CALLED 'FONTLIB'. EVEN THOUGH THE APL2 PRODUCT WAS FIXED 5-6 YEARS AGO, IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO ENCOUNTER A PROBLEM WHEN INSTALLING UNBOUNDED-BOX FONTS FOR THE FIRST TIME ON A SYSTEM WITH A BACK-LEVEL VERSION OF THE APL2 PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE PRODUCT. THE PROBLEM WILL SHOW UP AS A CONFLICT BETWEEN THE FONT FMID AND JLG1313, EACH EXPECTING 'FONTLIB' TO LOOK A CERTAIN WAY. MORE INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND IN UPGRADE: AFPFONT, SUBSET: PSFMVS220 AND UPGRADE: AFPFONT, SUBSET: APL2. ******************************************************************** * PROBLEM: 300DPI OCR FONTS FROM THE COMPATIBILITY FONTS * ENVIRONMENT: ALL * LAST UPDATE: 02/26/97 ******************************************************************** THE 300DPI OCR-A AND OCR-B FONTS FOUND IN THE COMATIBILITY FONTS ARE NOT TO BE USED FOR APPLICATIONS WHERE THE PRINTED CHARACTERS ARE TO BE READ BY OCR READERS. INSTEAD, USE OCR-A AND OCR-B FROM THE EXPANDED CORE FONTS. THE 300DPI OCR COMPATIBILITY FONTS WERE CREATED BY RUNNING THE 240DPI FONTS THROUGH THE 240->300 CONVERTER AND WERE NOT REDESIGNED TO MEET PUBLISHED STANDARDS. THE CORRECT 300DPI CHARACTER SETS TO USE ARE C0920AB0 (OCR-A) AND C0920BB0 (OCR-B). ******************************************************************** * PROBLEM: FONTS WILL NOT DOWNLOAD TO OEM PRINTERS * ENVIRONMENT: PSF/MVS WITH NON-IBM PRINTERS * LAST UPDATE: 01/29/97 ******************************************************************** ALL CHARACTER SETS AND CODE PAGES IN AFP FONT COLLECTION ARE MARKED WITH THE 'PUBLIC/PRIVATE' FLAG SET 'PUBLIC'. THIS ALLOWS FOR TRANSPARENT ACTIVATION OF RESIDENT OUTLINE FONTS NOW PROVIDED IN MANY IBM PRINTERS. IN SOME OEM PRINTERS, THE ATTEMPTED ACTIVATION BY PSF OF RESIDENT FONTS CAUSES A DEFAULT FONT TO PRINT WITH NO ERROR MESSAGE. TO GET AROUND THIS, THE FONTS MUST BE UNMARKED, OR MARKED 'PRIVATE' SO THAT THE FONTS ARE DOWNLOADED AND ACTIVATION OF PRINTER-RESIDENT FONTS IS NOT ATTEMPTED. ******************************************************************** * PROBLEM: GIM39001E FROM SMP/E RECEIVE * ENVIRONMENT: PSF/MVS * LAST UPDATE: 01/20/97 ******************************************************************** IF YOU TAKE GIM39001E (NO APPLICABLE ++VER) IT IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT INSTALLED A CODE PAGE FMID. CODE PAGES MUST BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OF ANY J0HL... FMID. CODE PAGE FMIDS ARE: H0HL141 - CODE PAGES FOR BOUNDED-BOX 240-PEL FONT LIBRARY H0HL15C - CODE PAGES FOR UNBOUNDED-BOX 240-PEL FONT LIBRARY H0HL15D - CODE PAGES FOR 300-PEL FONT LIBRARY H0HL15E - CODE PAGES FOR AFP OUTLINE FONT LIBRARY ******************************************************************** * PROBLEM: CHARACTERS DO NOT CONNECT IN 300DPI FORMAT FONTS * C0L0FM10, C0L0FM12, AND C0L0FM15. * ENVIRONMENT: ALL PSF'S * LAST UPDATE: 07/22/96 ******************************************************************** SOME OF THE CHARACTERS IN THESE FONTS USED TO DRAW BOXES DO NOT CONNECT IN THE 300DPI VERSIONS PROVIDED WITH FONT COLLECTION. NEW VERSIONS OF THESE FONTS ARE AVAILABLE ON FTP SITE: SERVICE.SOFTWARE.IBM.COM IN DIRECTORY: /PRINTERS/PRODUCTS/FONTS/FORMAT THE THREE 300DPI FORMAT FONTS, C0L0FM10, C0L0FM12, AND, C0L0FM15 HAVE SOME CHARACTERS THAT DO NOT CONNECT PROPERLY. THE CHARACTER SETS PROVIDED HERE CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THE NEW CHARACTER SETS ARE IDENTIFIED AS C0L0FM10.300, C0L0FM12.300, AND C0L0FM15.300. 'GET' THE FONTS IN 'BINARY' FROM THIS FTP SITE. MVS, VM, AND VSE USERS MUST USE THE APPROPRIATE REBLOCKER TO REBLOCK THE CHARACTER SETS BACK TO CORRECT AFPDS FOCA FORMAT. REBLOCKERS ARE ALSO FOUND ON THIS FTP SITE IN THE /PRINTERS/TOOLS /MVSVMREBLK AND /VSEREBLK DIRECTORIES. ******************************************************************** * PROBLEM: LIKE-NAMED CODED FONTS EXIST IN FONT COLLECTION AND * JAPANESE DBCS FONT PRODUCTS * ENVIRONMENT: PSF/MVS, PSF/VM/ AS/400, PSF/AIX * LAST UPDATE: 01/30/96 ******************************************************************** THERE ARE 15 CODED FONTS IN FONT COLLECTION WITH THE SAME NAMES AS AS CODED FONTS FOUND IN JAPANESE DBCS FONT PRODUCTS 5771-AFX AND THE 5771-AGB (V2R1 OF 5771-AFX). DEPENDING ON FONT SELECTION AND FONT LIBRARY CONCATONATION, INCORRECT OUTPUT MAY RESULT. TO GET AROUND THIS PROBLEM, RENAME THE FOLLOWING FONT COLLECTION CODED FONT RESOURCES AS FOLLOWS: XNH12D -> XNHB3D XNH12J -> XNHB3J XNH12N -> XNHB3N XNH16D -> XNHB5D XNH16J -> XNHB5J XNH16N -> XNHB5N XNN12D -> XNNB3D XNN12J -> XNNB3J XNN12N -> XNNB3N XNN13D -> XNNB4D XNN13J -> XNNB4J XNN13N -> XNNB4N XNN16D -> XNNB5D XNN16J -> XNNB5J XNN16N -> XNNB5N "XN" IS "X0", "X1", OR "X2" DEPENDING ON THE FONT LIBRARY. ******************************************************************** * PROBLEM: INSTALLING FONT COLLECTION WITH PSF/MVS 2.2.0 AND * 3930 PAGE PRINTER WITHOUT THE CORE FONT HARD-DRIVE * ENVIRONMENT: PSF/MVS 2.2.0 AND ABOVE * LAST UPDATE: 10/10/95 ******************************************************************** THE 3930 PAGE PRINTER CAN BE PURCHASED WITH AN OPTIONAL HARD-DRIVE THAT CONTAINS THE CORE INTERCHANGE FONTS FOUND IN FONT COLLECTION. IN ORDER TO USE CORE INTERCHANGE FONTS, THE HARD-DRIVE SHOULD BE INSTALLED. IF NOT, THE PRINTER WILL SUBSTITUTE PRESTIGE 12-PITCH FOR ANY HELVETICA OR TIMES NEW ROMAN FONTS SELECTED FROM THE HOST FONT LIBARY. IF THE HARD-DRIVE IS NOT INSTALLED THE FONTS FROM FONT COLLECTION CAN BE USED *ONLY* IF THEY ARE R-MARKED "PRIVATE" WHICH FORCES FONT DOWNLOAD. FAILING TO MARK THE FONTS "PRIVATE" WILL RESULT IN PRESTIGE 12-PITCH BEING SUBSTITUTED BY THE PRINTER FOR HELVETICA AND TIMES NEW ROMAN. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE RESIDENT FONT HARD-DRIVE BE INSTALLED. ******************************************************************** * INFORMATION: CODE PAGE FMID JPRF172 FROM PSF/MVS 2.1.1 AND 2.2.0 * AND FONT COLLECTION FMIDS H0HL15C, H0HL15D, H0HL141. * ENVIRONMENT: PSF/MVS 2.1.1 AND ABOVE * LAST UPDATE: 04/21/95 ******************************************************************** PSF/MVS 2.1.1 AND 2.2.0 PROVIDED CODE PAGES FOR THREE FONTLIBS IN A SINGLE FMID: JPRF172. JPRF172 REQUIRED THREE FONTLIBS, 240DPI UNBOUNDED-BOX (TYPICALLY SYS1.FONTLIB), 240DPI BOUNDED-BOX (TYPICALLY SYS1.FONTLIBB), AND 300DPI (TYPICALLY SYS1.FONT300). AFP FONT COLLECTION PROVIDES CODE PAGES FOR THESE LIBRARIES IN THREE FMIDS, H0HL15C (240DPI UNBOUNDED-BOX), H0HL141 (240DPI BOUNDED-BOX), AND H0HL15D (300DPI BOUNDED-BOX) ALL OF WHICH ARE INSTALLED BY VERSIONING JPRF172. IT WAS FELT THAT VERSIONING WAS PREFERABLE TO DELETING BECAUSE DELETING WOULD REMOVE THE CODE PAGES FROM ALL FONTLIBS AND THERE MAY BE CASES WHERE CERTAIN FONTLIBS ARE TO REMAIN UNTOUCHED. THIS MEANS THAT SINCE JPRF172 IS NOT DELETED IT WILL ALWAYS STAY ON THE SYSTEM EVEN THOUGH IT MAY HAVE NO MEMBERS ASSOCIATED WITH IT. THIS WILL NOT CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS BUT SOME USERS MAY WISH TO CLEAN IT OFF. IF THIS IS THE CASE, USE AN SMP MANUAL DELETE TO REMOVE JPRF172 AS SHOWN BELOW. ++FUNCTION(DELJ172). ++VER(Z038) DELETE(JPRF172). EXPECT RC4 ON THE RECEIVE WITH GIM39701W "SYSMOD HAD NO ELEMENTS". ******************************************************************** * INFORMATION: RMARK CODE PAGES FOR USE WITH 4028 FONT METRICS * ENVIRONMENT: PSF/MVS 2.1.1 AND BELOW AND PSF/MVS 2.2.0 WITHOUT * OUTLINE FONT D-APAR OW08340. * LAST UPDATE: 02/07/95 ******************************************************************** THE CODE PAGES PROVIDED IN FMID H0HL15D MUST BE RMARKED PRIOR TO USING THEM WITH THE 4028 FONT METRICS, FMID J0HL14R. APSWMCPG IS PROVIDED WITH PSF/MVS (ALL RELEASE LEVELS) FOR THIS PURPOSE. ******************************************************************** * DOCUMENTATION: DOCUMENT NUMBER FOR INTRODUCTION TO TYPOGRAPHY * ENVIRONMENT: ALL * LAST UPDATE: 03/28/95 ******************************************************************** IN THE OPTIONAL PROGRAM PUBLICATIONS SECTION OF THE PROGRAM DIRECTORIES, THE CORRECT PULICATION NUMBER FOR PUBLICATION: "AFP FONTS: INTRODUCTION TO TYPOGRAPHY" IS G544-3122. ******************************************************************** * INFORMATION: 3800-3 30PT AND 36PT FONTS NOT PROVIDED * ENVIRONMENT: PSF/MVS AND PSF/VSE * LAST UPDATE: 04/11/95 ******************************************************************** THE 3800-3 HAS A LIMIT OF 522,240 BYTES OF RASTER DATA. DUE TO THIS RESTRICTION, SOME EXPANDED CORE CHARACTER SETS CANNOT BE CREATED FOR THE 3800-3 AND THEREFORE ARE NOT PROVIDED IN FONT COLLECTION.
