How the Font Utility Works

To use the Font utility, you enter font job descriptions and locations in plain text in an

EDIT file, called a script file, which the Font utility reads to create the font jobs and to

associate them with spooler locations. Preparing the script file and running the Font

utility is illustrated in Figure 4-1.

The Font utility creates normal spooler jobs by sending data to a collector process.

Then the Font utility makes these jobs into font jobs. As directed by script file text, the

Font utility can create locations and link font jobs to locations by sending appropriate

commands to the spooler supervisor.
