For a detailed explanation of how the different types of identifiers combine to produce fonts, see InfoPrint Fonts: Font Summary If you have a job that specifies a font that is not resident on your printer, you can use the GRID files to map the missing font to one with the same point size that does reside on your printer. To understand what fonts your printer device has, see both your printer documentation and Advanced Function Presentation: Printer Information. Where does InfoPrint search for GRID files? InfoPrint searches these directories, in the order shown, for GRID files: 1. An internal list that matches the charset.grd.sample file. 2. /usr/lpp/psf/grd 3. /var/psf/printername, where PrinterName is the name of a valid InfoPrint physical printer. Note: When the same mapping is found in one of these files, InfoPrint uses the last one (/var/psf/ PrinterName). When you install InfoPrint, sample GRID files are installed in the /usr/lpp/psf/grd directory. You can maintain a central location for new or modified GRID files for specific printers by storing files in the /var/psf/PrinterName directory. If you are mapping raster fonts to outline fonts, you can map multiple names to the same GRID part so that different sized fonts can apply to your print job. Notes: 1. The new or modified GRID files you create have the same names as the sample files except that you delete .sample from each file name. 2. After creating or modifying GRID files, you must shut down and restart the InfoPrint physical printer represented by PrinterName for the changes in the file to take effect. Understanding the general syntax rules and allowable values for GRID files To tailor the InfoPrint-supplied GRID files for your own system needs, you need to understand the general syntax rules for the four GRID files and the allowable values for the fields in the files. Syntax rules applying to all types of GRID files The GRID files are simple ASCII text files that you can modify through any standard AIX text editor. These rules apply to all of the GRID files: v Each line in the file cannot contain more than 255 characters v Separate fields within a line with one or more delimiters (spaces) v A pound sign (#) indicates the start of comments, which causes InfoPrint to ignore the remainder of that line v A dash, - , indicates the absence of a particular value, for which InfoPrint substitutes a zero (0) v An asterisk, * , indicates that a wildcard value (any numeric decimal) is accepted.
