How the Font Utility Works
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 5-1.
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.
