FONT Command
•
Only authorized users can delete a special control job (font-name) with the
FONT DELETE command.
•
A font can be deleted even if it is associated with a location. When this occurs, the
location ignores the font.
•
Do not configure a device with DEV EXCLUSIVE OFF! if it is associated with
locations that are configured with font jobs to affect the printing of a subsequent
print job. The EXCLUSIVE OFF! attribute causes the device to be closed and
opened between printing the font job and printing the subsequent print job, thereby
terminating the effects of the font job. Configure a device in this situation with
either EXCLUSIVE ON or EXCLUSIVE OFF.
•
The maximum number of font jobs allowed for a spooler is 255. The FASTP print
process, however, provides for nearly an unlimited number by allowing up to 4095
sections in a font job, where each section can apply to different locations.
Sectioning is achieved by using a CONTROLBUF directive as described in
Section 4, Font Utility.
