1.1.3 Font concepts

A font is a collection of graphic characters sharing type family, style, and weight. You can use a font for an entire data set or file, for an entire page, or for selected lines or fields of data on a page. Page printers can print fonts with various point sizes, styles, weights, and widths on a single line or on various lines on a page. Multiple fonts can be printed on a page. Before each page is printed, the fonts required for the page are sent to the printer (downloaded) if the printer does not already have them in its storage. The printer storage required for a font depends on the point size (for raster fonts), number of characters in the font, and whether the font is double-byte or single-byte.

To understand fonts, you should be familiar with basic font concepts, including font terminology, how font characters are represented, the characteristics of font spacing, and point and pitch sizes.

1.1.3.1 Font terminology

Fonts are defined with this font terminology:

Type family
A type family is a group of typefaces that share basic design characteristics and encompass many size and style variations. Examples of type families include:
  • Courier
  • Helvetica
  • Times New Roman
Typeface
A typeface is a collection of characters having the same style, weight, and width. Examples of these attributes are shown in Font terminology.
  • Style is the inclination of a letter around a vertical axis; for example, roman (upright) or italic (slanted).
  • Weight is the degree of boldness of a typeface; for example, medium or bold.
  • Width is the horizontal variation in a character design; for example, normal or condensed.
Type font, type size, and complement
A type font, or font, is a collection of characters sharing type family, typeface, and type size. Collections of characters for expanded core fonts are referred to as complements.
Note: In Type Transformer, complements are called character lists.

The next figure shows the basic components of a Helvetica type family, including typeface, style, weight, width, complement, type font, and type size.

Helvetica type family
This picture shows the hierarchy for the Helvetica type family.

1.1.3.2 Representation of characters

An important concept to understand is how fonts are represented. For the fonts printed by page printers using AFP licensed programs, characters are represented by data describing each dot to be printed (raster fonts) or by mathematical formulas (outline fonts).

Raster fonts
A raster font is created by a sequence of dots, called picture elements (pels), that form a character called a raster pattern. The number of dots per inch that a printer generates is called the print resolution, or density. A resolution of 240 pels means that a printer prints 240 pels per inch both vertically and horizontally, or 57,600 pels per square inch (240 × 240).

The next figure shows two images of different print resolutions. The image with many small dots has more pels per inch and greater print resolution than the image with fewer large dots.

Print resolution examples
This picture shows print resolution examples.

The type of printer determines the printed pel density. Because raster fonts can have 240-pel or 300-pel formats, different fonts are available for printers with different resolutions (for example, 240-pel and 300-pel printers).

Outline fonts
Characters in outline fonts are described by mathematical formulas rather than by pels. These formulas are used by rasterizing software to create bitmap characters based on two variables: resolution and point size. This means that a single outline font can offer many print resolutions and point sizes. Hints are also contained in the outline fonts to make sure that typographic characteristics of the typeface are maintained in a consistent manner throughout all printed characters. Some of these characteristics include horizontal and vertical stroke widths, serifs, and curve radii.

TrueType and OpenType fonts are outline fonts that consist of tables for identifying the formatting information used to support Unicode encoding.

Rotation of characters
The ability to print in different directions and with different character rotations is also determined by the type of printer. Print direction shows the direction in which characters are added to a line of text. Character rotation is the clockwise rotation of a character with respect to the character baseline. The character baseline is a reference on which characters are aligned as they are added to the page in the print direction. The character baseline is always parallel to the print direction.

The next table shows how print direction and character rotation can be combined to print in many orientations.

Print direction and character rotation combinations for print orientations
This picture shows the print direction and character rotation combinations or print orientations.

1.1.3.3 Font spacing characteristics

Fonts can be classified according to their spacing characteristics and by their format.

Uniformly spaced fonts
Uniformly spaced fonts, or monospaced fonts, are similar to typewriter fonts, for which each character increment is the same width. Thus, the lowercase i and the . (period) each occupy as much space as the uppercase M. Examples of uniformly spaced fonts include Courier and Letter Gothic. 
i.M.i.M.i.M.i.M.i.M.i.M.i.M.i.M.
Note: A character increment is the distance that the current print position is increased for the particular character printed.
Duospace fonts
Duospace fonts are similar to uniformly spaced fonts or monospaced fonts. Duospace fonts can be two character widths instead of a single character width. Ideographic characters are designed on full-width increments while other characters can be designed for half-width increments. This concept allows the half-width and full-width characters in the box size examples in Box size examples to be implemented in a single font.
Note: As more language support is implemented in duospace fonts, more character widths can be used. However, the characters widths are always a multiple of the half-width character increment. This function allows a monospaced appearance of the data using this font spacing.
Typographic fonts
Typographic fonts are proportionally spaced fonts. The character increment is part of the design and varies on a character-by-character basis. Thus, the lowercase i and the . occupy narrow spaces. The uppercase M occupies a wide space. Examples of typographic fonts include Helvetica and Times New Roman. 
i.M.i.M.i.M.i.M.i.M.i.M.i.M.i.M.
Pitch
Uniformly spaced fonts are often described or referred to in pitch, or the number of characters printed in one horizontal inch (Figure 4.). Pitch is also referred to as characters per inch (CPI).
Type size in pitch
This picture shows type size in pitch. In the example, 10-pitch is equal to one inch.
Points
All fonts are measured in points, the vertical size of the font. One inch is equal to approximately 72 points. Point size is a baseline-to-baseline measurement, which includes minimal white space. The baseline is the line upon which the characters rest. Thus, the actual height of the characters in an 18-point font is fewer than 18 points (Figure 5). The line spacing usually includes one or more extra points of white space between lines of type.
Type size in points
This picture shows type size in points. In the example, 18-point type is equal to 1/4 inch.
Box size
Double byte character set (DBCS) raster fonts were formerly measured in box size, the number of pels in the character box. Box size can be either a horizontal or a vertical measurement. Usually both dimensions are given, with the box width first. If only one dimension is given, it is the box height. In full-width fonts, the box width is usually equal to the box height. In half-width fonts, the box width is one-half the box height.

1.1.3.4 Point and pitch sizes

Uniformly spaced single-byte character set (SBCS) fonts are measured horizontally in pitch and specified as points in the coded font or character set name. Proportionally spaced and mixed-pitch fonts are measured vertically in points. Although the DBCS fonts are uniformly spaced, they are measured vertically in points.

This section shows examples of various point and pitch sizes.

1.1.3.4.1 Point examples

Point size is a vertical measurement.

Point size examples
This picture shows point size examples ranging from 6 points to 36 points.

1.1.3.4.2 Pitch examples

Pitch size is a horizontal measurement.

Pitch size examples
This picture shows pitch size examples for 10 pitch, 12 pitch, 13.3 pitch, 15 pitch, 20 pitch, and 27 pitch.

1.1.3.4.3 Box size examples

Box size is a 240-pel measurement.

Box size examples
This picture shows box size examples for full-width and half-width characters in box heights of 48, 50, 32, and 24.

1.1.4 AFP Fonts

To understand fonts in the InfoPrint Font collection, you should be familiar with AFP fonts. AFP Fonts are Font Object Content Architecture (FOCA) raster and outline fonts, which are single-byte or double-byte, or WorldType fonts, which are TrueType and OpenType outline fonts. For more information about FOCA structures, see Font Object Content Architecture Reference, S544-3285.

This section describes AFP font structures, AFP font naming conventions, and formats of AFP character sets.

1.1.4.1 AFP font structure

The font structure of FOCA outline and raster fonts is made up of these font components (see Figure 9):

Coded font
A coded font consists of a character set and a code page.
Character set
A character set specifies characters, character properties, and printing attributes.
Code page
A code page defines character IDs and code points.
Font components
This picture shows the three font components: coded font, character set, and code page. A coded font consists of a character set and a code page. A character set has characters, character properties, and printing attributes. A code page has character IDs and code points.

WorldType outline fonts are organized by subsets and grouped by character blocks as defined by Microsoft Unicode format. Instead of using a character set, WorldType fonts map a code page to a Unicode point or use an extended code page that contains the Unicode point.

1.1.4.1.1 Coded font

In FOCA font structure, a coded font pairs a specific code page with a specific character set and translates your request for type (for example, text you previously entered at a computer terminal) into characters for printing. A character must be included in the specified character set and listed on the specified code page before it can be printed.

1.1.4.1.2 Character set

In FOCA font structure, a character set corresponds to the definition of a font; it contains the characters of a single type family, typeface, and type size. In addition, a character set specifies character properties and printing attributes (see Figure10).

Note: WorldType outline fonts are not defined with character sets.
Composition of a character set
This picture shows the three components of a character set: characters, character properties, and printing attributes.
The character set components are:
Characters
Characters are the letters, numerals, punctuation marks, or other symbols of a font.
Character properties
Character properties detail how a character is positioned relative to the characters around it. Some character properties include:
  • The baseline of a character showing its general alignment
  • The dimensions of space in which the character is printed
  • The position of the character in that space
  • The identifier of the character
Printing attributes
The printing attributes define how the character set is printed. Some printing attributes include rotation of characters, maximum ascender, and point size.

One of the character properties is the character ID (or graphic character ID). Each character is assigned a character ID; for example, the character “A” (uppercase A) is assigned the character ID LA020000. The purpose of a character ID is to distinguish the character from similar characters. For example, these characters look similar; however, they are different and are assigned different character IDs:

  • Minus sign (-): Character ID SA000000
  • Hyphen (-): Character ID SP100000
  • Em dash (—): Character ID SM900000

For a list of character IDs, the character the ID represents, and the code pages where the characters are found, see the IBM AFP Fonts: Technical Reference for Code Pages, S544-5802.

1.1.4.1.3 Code page

A code page maps each character of text to the characters in a character set for FOCA fonts or the characters associated to a Unicode point for WorldType fonts. Two types of code pages exist:

  • A traditional code page contains the mapping information between a code point and a character ID. It can be used with FOCA character sets and TrueType and OpenType fonts.
  • An extended code page contains the mapping information for a code point, a character ID, and a Unicode point. It can be used with TrueType and OpenType fonts.
A character ID is an 8-byte character data string. A code point is an 8-bit binary number representing a character. Code points are usually shown as hexadecimal representations of their binary values.

Code Point Representations
System Value
Binary 11000001
Decimal 193
Hexadecimal C1

When a code page is used with a FOCA font character set, each keyboard character is translated into a code point. When the text is printed, each code point is matched to a character ID on the code page you specified. The character ID is then matched to the image (raster pattern or outline pattern) of the character in the character set you specified. The image in the character set is the image that is printed in your text. To be a valid code page for a particular character set, all character IDs in the code page must be included in that character set (Figure 11).

Translation of a keyboard character into a printed character with a code page and FOCA font character set
This picture shows how a keyboard character is translated into a printed character with a code page and FOCA font character set

When a code page is used with a TrueType and OpenType font, each code point is matched to the character ID on the code page you specified. The character ID is matched to a Unicode point on the graphic character global identifier to Unicode mapping (GUM) table on your printer. The Unicode point is then matched to the image of the TrueType and OpenType font you specified (Figure 12).

Translation of a keyboard character into a printed character using a code page and a TrueType and OpenType font
This picture shows how a keyboard character is translated into a printed character using a code page and a TrueType and OpenType font.

When an extended code page is used with a TrueType and Open Type font, each code point is matched to the Unicode point on the extended code page you specified without referring to the GUM on your printer. The Unicode point is then matched to the image of the TrueType and OpenType font you specified (see Figure 13).

Translation of a keyboard character into a printed character using an extended code page and a TrueType and OpenType font
This picture shows how a keyboard character is translated into a printed character using an extended code page and a TrueType and OpenType font.

The next figure shows an example of a code page. In the example, when the printer receives hexadecimal code point C1 for the code page T1V10037, it prints an uppercase A (character ID LA020000).

Code page T1V10037
This picture shows a partial grid for the T1V10037 Country Extended: United States, Canada code page.

Code pages for different languages

Code pages accommodate various national languages by using characters and special symbols appropriate to the language. Different code pages can have identical character IDs assigned to different code points. For example, the character é (lowercase e accent acute, character ID LE110000) has these code point assignments in two different code pages:

  • Hexadecimal code point 51 in code page T1V10037 (Country Extended: United States, Canada)
  • Hexadecimal code point 5A in code page T1V10280 (Country Extended: Italy)

Single- and double-byte code pages

A single-byte code page contains 256 or fewer 1-byte code points. Single-byte code pages are large enough for languages with alphabetic writing systems, such as English, Greek, and Arabic. A single-byte character set (SBCS) is used with a single-byte code page.

A double-byte code page can contain as many as 65,536 two-byte code points. Languages with non-alphabetic writing systems, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, require double-byte code pages. A double-byte character set (DBCS) is used with a double-byte code page.

DBCSs contain some single-byte characters, usually romaji (Western characters) and katakana. Single-byte code pages are used with these characters. Because the characters are either half width (Font spacing characteristics) or proportionally spaced, these code pages are sometimes called half-width code pages.

Code page sections

If you think of a double-byte code page as a collection of single-byte code pages, a double-byte character code has two parts: the first byte indicates a section of the code page, and the second byte indicates a code point in the section.

Raster coded fonts treat double-byte code pages this way: the coded font is divided into sections, each with its own single-byte code page. Each character in the section has a single-byte code point.

Outline coded fonts treat double-byte code pages as single, large code pages. Each character has a double-byte code point.

1.1.4.2 AFP font naming conventions

Font naming conventions identify a specific font and its characteristics. Each type of font has its own naming convention:

  • WorldType fonts follow the naming conventions in Naming conventions for the WorldType Fonts.
  • FOCA outline and raster fonts follow this convention for the names of each font component:

    The first character in the name defines the font component:

    C
    Character set
    T
    Code page
    X
    Coded font

    After the first character, the remainder of the name depends on the type of component:

    Character set and coded font names are distinctive and can be used to determine whether a font is a General Library font, a CJK font, or a raster font. For example, character sets and coded fonts are only six characters for outline fonts rather than eight characters for raster fonts. Code page names are not distinctive enough to determine for which font group the code page is supplied.

1.1.4.3 Format of AFP character sets

The InfoPrint Font Collection supplies character sets in these formats:

240-pel raster
240-pel raster fonts are bounded-box fonts used on 240-pel printers. The resolution of these fonts is 240 dots per inch. All character positioning metrics in these fonts are expressed in whole-pel (fixed-metric) values.
300-pel raster
300-pel raster fonts are used on printers where the resolution is 300 dots per inch. The character positioning values are expressed in relative metrics and the exact pel count is determined at print time.
Type 1 outline
Type 1 outline is the format used with Type Transformer for General Library fonts. This format includes outlines of the various type families, which can be transformed for use by AFP printers in sizes from 1–999 points (AFP outline fonts) or from 1–72 points (raster fonts).
CID-Keyed outline
CID-Keyed outline is the format used with Type Transformer for CJK fonts. This format includes outlines of the various type families, which can be transformed for use by AFP printers in sizes from 1–999.9 points (AFP outline fonts) or from 1–72 points (raster fonts).
AFP outline
AFP outline is the format by which Print Services Facility (PSF) and other AFP applications can identify Type 1 outline fonts. The Type 1 or CID-Keyed outlines are encapsulated in FOCA wrappers that allow them to be accessed as AFP resources. AFP outlines utilize relative metrics in the same way as 300-pel fonts.
Fixed metrics
Fixed-metric fonts have all character positioning metrics expressed in whole-pel values. All 240-pel fonts are fixed-metric fonts. For example, the character increment of the ‘A' in 240-pel Helvetica Latin1 roman medium 10 pt is 22 pels. When 240-pel fonts are created, any fractional pels found are eliminated by rounding up or down to whole-pel values.
Relative metrics
Relative metrics were developed for scalable outline fonts where a single metric value could be used to determine a pel value given a desired resolution and point size. Relative metrics are based on 1000 units per em space, which means the fonts are designed for a hypothetical 1000 dpi, 72-point font where each side of the bounding box is 1000 pels. All AFP outlines and 300-dpi fonts contain relative metrics. The exact pel values are determined when the font is used, such as during document formatting or printing. For example, the character increment for A in 300-pel Helvetica Latin1 roman medium is 667 relative units. In the hypothetical 1000 dpi, 72-point font, the A would have a character increment of 667 pels, but at 10 points and 300-dpi resolution, the character increment of the A is 27.8 pels. The fractional pel (.8 in this case) is accumulated by the printer and a whole white pel is inserted when the accumulator = 1. Constantly adjusting the character increments in this way makes sure that the output text is as close to the original outline specification as possible.

1.1.7.1 Highlights of the AFP Asian Classic Fonts

The Japanese Heisei fonts have been enhanced to meet the JIS X 0213:2004 Japanese International Standard.

The Japanese AFP Asian Classic TTC Fonts were enhanced in the 3.7 version of the InfoPrint Font Collection.

The Unicode code point for a single new Japanese Era name character, Reiwa, is U+32FF. It can also be printed or displayed utilizing two Unicode code points: U+4EE4U+548C.

1.1.7.2 AFP Asian Classic Fonts and Resource Access Table File List

Considerations for the AFP Asian Classic Font set:

  • A total of 34 fonts are provided with the AFP Asian Classic Font set.
  • A ‘P’ in the font names represents a proportional font. No ‘P’ in the font name represents a monospaced font. For example, the font file IBM_TCSung.TTC contains font “TC-Sung IBM” and font “TC-PSung IBM”.
  • The OpenType TTF fonts are half width to provide compatibility with the old AFP SBCS fonts.
  • Font file names containing ‘SB’ are derived from the single-bye Asian font set and must use the extended code pages provided. Non ‘SB’ fonts can be used to print UTF–16BE Unicode data.

1.1.7.3 AFP Asian Classic Fonts Extended Code Page File List

The AFP Asian Classic Fonts include a set of extended code pages. The extended code pages allow mapping an ASCII or EBCDIC code point directly to its equivalent UTF-16BE Unicode code point. If you use the extended code pages, you must supply the extended code page source directory to AFP as a code page resource path. It is recommended that you concatenate the extended code page directory that is included in front of your existing code page directory.

1.1.8 WorldType Fonts

WorldType fonts are TrueType and OpenType fonts supplied in a Microsoft Unicode format. The WorldType Fonts include these typefaces:

  • WorldType Sans
  • WorldType SansDuo
  • WorldType Serif
  • WorldType SerifDuo

Format and operating systems for WorldType Fonts
Format Operating systems
WorldType fonts Native support for Windows. The fonts can be copied to AIX, Linux, IBM i, and z/OS as needed.
Unicode Ranges

The WorldType fonts are organized by subsets and grouped by character blocks as defined by Unicode. These subsets do not fully support all glyphs in every character block and might contain glyphs from other characters blocks:

  • Windows Glyph List (WGL) is a subset supporting Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Modified Letters and Combining Marks. Partial support for Symbols and glyphs in the Special Area. This subset provides the same basic set of characters as Microsoft's Windows Glyph List 4.
  • All the WorldType fonts now contain the Ethiopic language script.
  • Middle East Glyph List is a subset supporting Arabic and Hebrew in addition to the WGL support.
  • Indic Glyph List is a subset supporting Indic scripts in addition to the WGL support.
  • Southeast Asian Glyph List is a subset supporting Thai, Lao, Khmer, Burmese, and Vietnamese in addition to the WGL support.
  • The East Asian Glyph Lists are a subset of the Chinese, Hong Kong, Japanese, Korean, and Taiwan full font sets.
  • Complete Glyph List contains every character presently supported. In addition to WGL, Middle East, and Indic support, it supports Han, Hiragana, Katakana, Hangul, Bopomofo, and Yi.

Localizations

The Complete Glyph List is available with Han localizations for Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. There is a 64–K glyph limit in the TrueType and OpenType font architecture that limits the amount of support that can be provided with a single font. This limitation requires a different font to be selected to represent each locale properly.

The set of Han glyphs is not fully localized for all four locales. Each of the localizations supports the Windows 98 glyph set for a particular locale. The Simplified Chinese locale is the only uniform designed glyph set. There are fallback glyphs in the other locales for those glyphs not supported. For example, if a glyph is specified that is not part of the Windows 98 Japanese glyph set, the Simplified Chinese glyph is used for that particular glyph.

Embedded bitmaps

The Complete Glyph List and East Asian Glyph list are available with embedded bitmaps. The embedded bitmaps are provided for many of the Han, Hiragana, and Katakana glyphs. These bitmaps improve the quality of the glyph at screen resolutions.

The level of embedded bitmap support is based on the Windows 95 glyph set. There are six bitmap sizes included in the fonts. Each bitmap size is designed to represent the locale and the type style, except for the smallest bitmap, which is too small to distinguish the difference.

1.1.8.1 Naming conventions for the WorldType Fonts

The WorldType font naming convention uses the format of TTTTLLSB with the definitions listed in Tables 10 and 11 below.

Note: The InfoPrint Font Collection contains the latest version of the WorldType fonts. The file name prefixes in Version 8.2.2 are different from the file name prefixes in Version 6.3. This section describes the naming conventions for the latest WorldType font version.

1.1.9 AFP Raster Fonts

AFP Raster fonts are distinguished from AFP outline fonts because they have character set and coded font names that are eight characters rather than six characters. These AFP raster fonts are included with the InfoPrint Font Collection:

  • Single-byte character set (SBCS) expanded core fonts
  • Double-byte character set (DBCS) core fonts
  • Math, PI, and Sonoran fonts

This section also describes the compatibility fonts that are included for reference even though they are not part of the InfoPrint Font Collection.

1.1.9.1 SBCS fonts

SBCS expanded core fonts are part of the AFP raster fonts shipped with the InfoPrint Font Collection. The fonts contain various typefaces and font sizes (including typographic and uniformly spaced typeface families) and combine IBM Core Interchange Fonts, IBM Coordinated Fonts, and IBM BookMaster Fonts.

The next table shows the formats for SBCS fonts provided in the InfoPrint Font Collection.

Format and operating systems for SBCS fonts
Format Operating systems
240-pel bounded-box fonts z/OS, IBM i, Linux, AIX, Windows
300-pel fonts z/OS, IBM i, Linux, AIX, Windows

Summary table for SBCS fonts lists SBCS fonts by font type and language group.

1.1.9.1.1 Naming conventions for SBCS fonts

The next two tables illustrate the naming conventions for SBCS expanded core fonts.

Part 1: Naming conventions for SBCS fonts
This picture shows part 1 of the naming convention for SBCS fonts.
Part 2: Naming conventions for SBCS fonts
This picture shows part 2 of the naming convention for SBCS fonts.

The seventh character in the naming convention, “P” in, represents the point size or pitch size of the font. The sizes of typographic and mixed-pitch fonts are expressed in points, which is a vertical measurement indicating the general size of the font. One point is 1/72 inch. The sizes of uniformly spaced fronts are expressed in pitch, which is the number of characters that can be printed in 1 inch of text. The next table shows the point and pitch sizes available for the SBCS font AFP typeface names. See Summary table for SBCS fonts for a list of SBCS fonts by font type, language group, and AFP typeface name.

1.1.9.1.2 Summary table for SBCS fonts

This section lists SBCS expanded core fonts by font type or language group, and AFP typeface name, including: APL, Arabic, BookMaster specials, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, IBM Logo, Katakana, Lao, Latin1 with and without euro, Latin2, Latin3, Latin4, Latin5, optical character recognition (OCR), symbols for Courier, Helvetica, and Times New Roman, and Thai.

The summary table for SBCS fonts provides this information:

Font type
The font type name, followed by the GCSGID (the graphic character set global identifier, which is a collection of characters registered with a unique number and sometimes used for font and code page selection).
AFP typeface name
The IBM name for the typeface.
Type 1 typeface name
The Type 1 font name for the typeface. The name contains information about the style and weight of the font, which can be:
Roman Medium (the basic style)
Roman Bold (Bold)
Italic Medium (Italic)
Italic Bold (Bold Italic)
Character set identifier
An eight-character name that identifies an AFP raster character set.
Type 1 file name
The name of a Type 1 font that is used to create the AFP raster font. The file extensions are AFM, INF, and PFB.
Coded font identifier
An eight-character name of the raster coded font that identifies the combination of code page and character set. IBM BookMaster fonts do not have a coded font identifier because BookMaster does not use coded fonts.
Alternate coded font identifier
A six-character coded font name for certain operating environments, such as JES, that limits coded font identifiers to six characters; for example, X0GT10. All SBCS fonts with a coded font identifier also have an alternate coded font identifier.
FGID
The font typeface global identifier (FGID) is a number assigned to each typeface and is sometimes used for font selection.
Code page
An eight-character name, with "T1" as the prefix, that identifies the code page. Alphabetic script and symbol fonts use only single-byte code pages.
GCSGID
The graphic character set global identifier (a collection of characters registered with a unique number and sometimes used for font and code page selection)

1.1.9.2 DBCS fonts

DBCS core fonts are part of the AFP raster fonts shipped with the z/OS Font Collection. The fonts contain different typefaces that are suitable for printing various Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) documents. CJK fonts are derived from the Adobe CID-Keyed font technology.

DBCS fonts are provided in 240-pel bounded-box font formats for the z/OS, IBM , AIX, Linux, and Windows operating systems.

Summary table for DBCS fonts lists DBCS fonts by CJK typeface.

The Japanese DBCS Raster fonts and extended code pages were enhanced in the 3.7 version of the InfoPrint Font Collection. The new Japanese Era name character, Reiwa, has been added to section E8 code point 60 of the DBCS character sets C0****E8 and code pages T10300E8, T10300, T1I300, T1J300, T1K300. The GCGID for the new Japanese Era name character is IXA0E860, which represents EBCDIC double byte code point E860.

In version 3.8 of the InfoPrint Font Collection, three Japanese DBCS Outline fonts: CZJHKG, CZJHMG, CZJHMN and four DBCS code pages: T1I300,T1J300,T1K300,T10300 were enhanced to include the new Japanese Era, Reiwa character 令和 utilizing GCGID IXA0E860 and EBCDIC double byte code point E860.

1.1.10 Code pages and extended code pages

A code page maps each character of text to the characters in a character set or to the characters associated to a Unicode point. Two types of code pages exist:

  • A traditional code page includes EBCDIC or ASCII encodings only; it can be used with FOCA character sets and TrueType and OpenType fonts.
  • An extended code page includes multiple encodings within a single code page and can contain EBCDIC or ASCII encodings along with the Unicode equivalent value; it can be used with TrueType and OpenType fonts.

AFP outline fonts and AFP raster fonts use traditional code pages to map each character of text to the characters in a character set. TrueType and OpenType fonts use traditional and extended code pages to map each character of text to the characters associated with a Unicode point.

Each code point in an extended code page can be mapped to one or more Unicode values. Extended code pages allow code pages that contain user-defined characters (that is, those characters that have not been registered with IBM and assigned a GCGID value) to be used with TrueType and OpenType fonts.

The next table shows the extended code page files that you can download from the IBM Extended Code Pages web page.

Downloadable extended code page files

1.1.10.1 Naming conventions for code pages

All AFP code page names begin with T1, which makes them recognizable as code pages. This section shows the naming conventions for code pages and extended code pages used with these font library character sets:

  • General Library (outline fonts) and SBCS (expanded core raster fonts)
  • CJK (outline fonts) and DBCS (core raster fonts) with full-width characters
  • CJK (outline fonts) and DBCS (core raster fonts) with half-width characters

Code pages for General Library and SBCS fonts

The last six characters of the code page name are used to identify the code page for General Library and SBCS fonts. The preferred naming convention is where the first two characters are 00, V1, or B0, and the final four characters are the code page global identifier (CPGID), which is a number registered by IBM to identify each code page uniquely.

The next table shows the naming convention for code pages used with General Library outline font character sets and SBCS raster font character sets. The naming convention format is T1yyyyyy.

Code pages with full-width characters for CJK and DBCS fonts

The names of code pages that use full-width characters are typically six characters for CJK outline fonts and eight characters for DBCS raster fonts.

The next table shows the naming convention for code pages used with CJK and DBCS full-width character sets. The naming convention format is T1xxxxss.
