Setting up font resources for DBCS ASCII and EUC printing

To print the transformed files that contain font references to the double-byte character set, you must make the double-byte fonts known to InfoPrint through one of these methods:
  • Create a resource-context object that identifies the location of the double-byte fonts and associate the resource-context object with a default-document object and an InfoPrint logical printer; see Creating and managing resource-context objects for these procedures. Using this method makes the fonts known to InfoPrint for any job submitted to the logical printer associated with the default-document object.
  • Add the directories to the search path for actual destinations using the InfoPrint Manager Administration Interface Printer Properties notebook. In the AFP Resources tab, enter the directory path in the Location of fonts field. See Assigning resource-context objects to an actual destination for a Linux command line equivalent of the procedure. Using this method makes the fonts known to InfoPrint for any job processed by those physical printers.
  • Set and export the PSFPATH environment variable to your environment by entering this command: 
    export PSFPATH=$PSFPATH:path1:path2:pathN

    Using this method makes the fonts known to InfoPrint for all print jobs submitted from the windows or High Function Terminal session in which the PSFPATH environment variable was set.

  • Set and export the PSFPATH environment variable in your /etc/profile.d/ipm_environment.sh file (Bash and Bourne shells) or .cshrc file (C shells) by adding this line to the file: 
    export PSFPATH=$PSFPATH:path1:path2:pathN

    Using this method makes the fonts known to InfoPrint for any job you submit.

  • Set the PSFPATH environment variable in the /etc/environment file by adding this line to the file: 
    PSFPATH=path1:path2:pathN

    Using this method makes the fonts known to InfoPrint for all users on the system.
