Fonts required to print a double-byte transformed file You can use the db2afp transform command to transform input files that use these code pages: v Japanese PC (code page IBM-932) v Japanese EUC (code page IBM-eucJP) v Traditional Chinese PC (code page IBM-938) v Traditional Chinese EUC (code page IBM-eucTW) v Korean EUC (code page IBM-ecuKR) The transformed files contain font references to the double-byte character set. You set the character set, code page, you want by setting the PSFDBLANG environment variable. After you have used the db2afp command to transform DBCS ASCII and EUC files into AFP data stream files, you must have access to DBCS fonts when you print the transformed files. The DBCS fonts for Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean are not part of InfoPrint but are available for the MVS, VM, and AIX operating systems as separately orderable licensed programs. Installing DBCS fonts on AIX To make the fonts available on your system and to InfoPrint, once you have the licensed programs, you must do one of these: v Use the AIX licensed programs to install the fonts onto your AIX system. v Use the AIX licensed programs to install the fonts onto a AIX system other than yours and use the Network File System (NFS) mount command to mount the AIX file system onto your AIX system. v Use the NFS mount command to mount the MVS or VM minidisk to your AIX system. 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: v 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. Using this method makes the fonts known to InfoPrint for any job submitted to the logical printer associated with the default-document object. v 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. Using this method makes the fonts known to InfoPrint for any job processed by those physical printers. v 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 AIXwindows or High Function Terminal session in which the PSFPATH environment variable was set. v Set and export the PSFPATH environment variable in your .profile file (Korn and Bourne shells) or .cshrc file (C shells) by adding this line to the file: Chapter 21.
