Recovering from font not found

If your printer supports outline fonts and you have requested that PSF map to outline fonts (see Mapping to outline fonts), but many pages in your jobs are not processed because the outline font identified through the mapping algorithms did not exist on the host, you might want to turn on the Recover-from-Font-Not-Found function.

The Recover from font not found parameter in the Printer Inventory (see Recover from font not found), the MAP2OLN parameter on the PRINTDEV statement (see MAP2OLN), or XTP7RFNF in Exit 7 (see XTP7RFNF) controls whether PSF makes sure that the mapped font exists before proceeding. This option defaults to NO, which specifies to PSF that it does not need to make sure that the mapped font exists before proceeding. If the mapped font does not exist, PSF issues an error message and stops processing the page.

To specify that PSF is to make sure that the outline font derived from the mapping algorithms (for example, the mapped font) exists before proceeding, set the option to YES. PSF then performs library queries to determine whether the mapped font exists. If PSF determines that the mapped font exists, it proceeds to load the mapped font. If the mapped font is not found inline or in any specified user library or system library, PSF does not map the font, but instead loads the raster font.
