Adding a new mapping of a GRID to an outline font

If you have added a new mapping for a raster font to this outline font character set, you already have added an entry to map the GRID to an outline font.

If the GRID-to-Font-Name Mapping table (APSRGTNM) does not contain an entry for your outline font character set, do these:

  1. Add a new entry to the GRID-to-Font-Name Mapping table (APSRGTNM) to associate the FGID and the GCSGID with the outline font character set name. For example:
    DC XL2'1111'        FGID
    DC XL2'2222'        GCSGID
    DC XL2'0000'        FONT WIDTH
    DC XL1'00'          RESERVED
    DC XL1'1F'          TECHNOLOGY ID - OUTLINE
    DC XL2'0000'        VERTICAL FONT SIZE
    DC CL8'CZMYOUTL'    CHARACTER SET NAME

    You can find the FGID, GCSGID, and font size for all IBM-supplied raster fonts in IBM AFP Fonts: Font Summary for AFP Font Collection, S544-5633 or z/OS Font Collection. For non-IBM supplied fonts or raster fonts created from OEM outlines by using the IBM® Type Transformer product, either determine the values that were used when the raster fonts were created or assign values yourself by using the FGID and GCSGID values in the customer-assigned range of 65280 to 65534 (decimal).

    Code the font technology for the outline font character set as XL1'1F'.

    For outline font character sets, specify font width and vertical font size with XL2'0000'.

    If you have created a specific code page for use with this font character set, use the GCSGID associated with that code page. Otherwise, code the GCSGID entry with XL2'FFFF'.

  2. If you are using a standard code page with this character set, you need not create a code page entry; PSF will use the internal system tables. If you have created a specific code page for use with your character set, add a new entry to the GRID-to-Font-Name Mapping table (APSRGTNM), to associate the code page with its GRID parts. For example:
    DC XL2'1234'        CPGID
    DC XL2'2222'        GCSGID
    DC CL8'T1MYCDPG'    CODE PAGE NAME
