Running the Font Utility

You can run the Font utility by entering the following command at the TACL prompt:

IN script-file

designates an EDIT file containing details of the font jobs to add and locations to

set up. See Script File Syntax on page 5-5 for the requirements of the file.

The IN script-file parameter is actually a run option. If the IN parameter is

omitted, the Font utility runs interactively, but this is not recommended because the

utility is not designed to accept data interactively.

run-options

are any run options for the command-interpreter RUN command, separated from

each other by commas and set off in the command line by / characters.

The following run option might typically be used with the Font utility:

OUT list-file

indicates where the Font utility is to write status or error information. If not

specified, the status is written to the OUT file in effect for the RUN command

(usually the home terminal).

If OUT list-file is specified, the Font utility writes the data to it in a

manner suitable for the file type, process, or device. The list-file

parameter must be specified; it can be an unstructured file, entry-sequenced

file, process, or device. Output to an EDIT file is not accepted.

For information on other run options, see the description of the RUN command in

the TACL Reference Manual.

supervisor

is the name of the spooler supervisor with which the Font utility communicates. If

supervisor is omitted, then the Font utility assumes that $SPLS is the

supervisor.

If you want to communicate with a remote supervisor, use the remote form of the

supervisor process name (for example, \FAR.$SPLS). Font and your terminal

process should execute on the same node.
